Subject: RE: BS: Scotland - Closing down sale
The wild beauty of Scotland will soon be only a memory.

These bloody wind farms are sprouting up all over Argyll and other areas of the Highlands.
An absolute racket!! Big profits for the developers and landowners, the losers being the ordinary "sweaty Scots". We are having our beautiful landscape ruined, and paying for the priviledge.

Wind farms are not an answer to our energy problems, and never will be, the development costs, maintenance costs, plus the bribes paid out to local councils to avoid planning protests, make the small amount of energy produced much too expensive.

But small matters like that never stopped the "made men".

The landowners are now bypassing the wind farm companies, and doing the whole development themselves for even bigger profits.
Meanwhile the people who have lived here for generations see their country disappear under windmills and "bungalow boxes" inhabited by octogenarian English, with no feel for nature or the sensibilities of the indigenous "sweaties"

The "sweaties" seem too dumb to see what's happening and remind me of the workers in Robert Tressels socialist classic "The ragged trousered philanthropists"

"Happy to give away their most precious and sometimes only posessions, to make the rich more wealthy".....Ake
