Like many people in the area I have severe doubts on the viability, not to mention the likely impact, of the proposed wind farms in the Beauly area.
As you may know I am the immediate past president of the Mountaineering Council of Scotland whose official policy lines up with other similar NGO’s such as the John Muir Trust. However, I write this as a personal letter of support as I am sure you will be fully backed by the above organizations in your fight against the proposed commercialization of our hills and amenity land.
I cannot see any long-term benefit or major carbon savings by the sole deployment of wind turbines but can see a major degradation of our landscape and amenity. Many experts have cast doubt on the viability of wind technology and to me, as a layman but one passionate about the value of our landscape both for its own sake and as a vital amenity for recreation, jobs and tourism; I cannot but fear we are facing an environmental disaster.
To sway a Government already set on a pre-destined path of its own creating will not be easy but for what it is worth I will endeavor to help and support you as much as possible.
Yours Sincerely,
John Cromartie
