Their situations can also make them a visual obscenity completely destroying the unique environment in which they are erected. Being totally in favour of renewables as the way forward. I believe there are better ways forward than these uneconomic, heavily taxpayer subsidised monstrosities which should be consigned to the `good try, must do better next time` file.

Orkney will not survive without this giant windmill ! ? £££££ in their eyes
Energy Gateway ,how about considering wave/tidal power , it's far more reliable.
Come to Orkney, we are the renewable centre,we have a big WINDMILL fffsss

Turbines may be viewed easily in many locations; St. Magnus Cathedral can only be seen in Kirkwall. Why spoil a beautiful view.

If a wind turbine is mooted then put a group out at sea where they would be exposed to a higher level of wind and would avoid the visual impact on land. A single structure would be inappropriate, unproductive and an eyesore.

It gives a sense of proportion in both a physical and spiritual way. To have anything dwarfing that or detracting from that is outreageous.

]]> Fri, 24 Apr 2009 05:30:34 UTC 5337125 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5336597?utm_medium=rss Any windfarm development in the area proposed would have an enormous impact on the character and ambience of Kirkwall - as well as providing no benefits, either socially, economically or environmentally.

If the Hatston Turbine gets the go-ahead the O.I.C. will be seen as ineffectual. It will,also,have created a precedent which will result, inevitably, in a plethora of Wind Turbine planning applications. An absolute visual disaster for the Orkney Islands.
