If they are, Brussels will need to be notified for further action.<BR/><BR/>If, on the other hand, the turbines are sited on land which is under no special protection, that's fine: the need then will be to ensure that any power generated by such turbines is pointed up as being wildly expensive and totally irrelevant.<BR/><BR/>In declining economic times, British folk will not be pleased when they're told that they're being forced to subsidize the islanders and LWP, for exactly nothing in return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-91955487777712756192008-03-30T21:38:00.000+00:002008-03-30T21:38:00.000+00:00If the thing gets turned down, all hell will break...If the thing gets turned down, all hell will break loose along Sandwick Road.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-87218163802527976052008-03-30T19:55:00.000+00:002008-03-30T19:55:00.000+00:00Surely one PLI is enough for you Angus.
