Green energy - the way forward

What is green energy?

At Scottish and Southern Energy we care about the environment and have become the UK’s largest generator of renewables. In partnership with Europe’s largest wildlife conservation charity, we have developed a unique ‘green energy’ scheme, which directly helps the environment today and for the future.

Electricity from RSPB Energy is produced from renewable sources, including hydro-power and wind power, which do not create harmful emissions. The electricity is matched to output from renewable sources fed into the network.

	If you care about the future for people and wildlife you can take positive action. Switching to renewable energy is one of the simplest and clearest options available. Julian Pettifer, Environmental Broadcaster and former RSPB President, 1994 - 2000

Honestly. Find this at www.rspbenergy.co.uk which is a trading name of Scottish and Southern, who are probably going to provide the cables to LWP which the RSPB are complaining about.

Of course, as we all know, climate change is affecting the type of birds we already see around us, as the RSPB are happy to admit.

Q: So just how will global warming affect the Lewis Peatlands and the birds who visit?

A: Unless we do something, the peat will dry up and release carbon dioxide (which speeds global warming) and the birds will move elsewhere where there is food and a suitable climate. As for the human inhabitants of Lewis, they will see the machair under water and the communities scrapping a living on the margins of an empty nature reserve.
