Hello
Just writing to noytify you that Beinn Mor Power/ Eisgein Estate have now revised their application, reducing turbines from 133 to 53. However the developer has already referred to this as phase 1 only, and stated that they will seek to extend it again. There is immense concern on the Western Isles about these proposals, and the extensive industrialisation of the Lewis Landscape that will be entailed. For the Lewis Wind Power proposal the developers (Lewis Wind Power and British Energy) estimate that they will create 2.5 million tonnes of peat spoil. Wetlands, by area, hold three time more carbon than tropical rainforest. The Lewis windfarms are not therefore environmentally friendly.
To date over 9,500 people have objected to the Lewis windfarms, with about 77% coming from the Western Isles.
The deadline for objecting to the revised proposal is May 12 2006 i.e. tomorrow. But still worthwhile writing to object even if you miss it.
The address is the same as previously.
May the force be with you
