Not Getting High..

The construction of one of Europe's largest onshore wind farms has been refused by the Scottish Government today.
The 181 turbines on the Western Isles did not obey with the European law protecting sensitive environments. Scottish ministers decided the project would have a serious impact on the Lewis Peatlands Special Protection Area, protecting birds and onshore habitat.
"Sadly all of this has been lost because of the government decision which, we believe, represents a huge missed opportunity," in a statement for LWP.
The Lewis Wind Power company believes that the turbines will not only bring cheap, reusable energy to the neighboring towns but also a significant amount of jobs. The project was backed by local authorities and business but brought in a report 11,000 objections to the idea.
Energy Minister Jim Mather said the government was committed to helping the renewable energy sector in the Western Isles. "I strongly believe the vast renewables potential needs to be exploited to ensure that the opportunities and benefits of new development can be shared across the country in an equitable fashion."
