German firm should think again about wind farm near Glen Affric

THE announcement by EnergieKontor regarding Ballach Wind development near iconic Glen Affric arrived with a confusing bang. On August 6 the German company wrote to community councils saying it had submitted its planning application for 20 mega-sized turbines to the Scottish Government in July after consulting with the community and refining its plans. Those “refinements” are certainly not obvious and it is doubtful they have changed anything at all after public “feedback”. Cherry-picked viewpoints, misty visuals and turbines not much larger than cows all serve to try and downplay what will be a catastrophic impact for so many. Source
