2. The adverse effect which the industrialisation of an island as pristine and unspoilt as Lewis will have on its tourism industry and on the residents of Lewis dependent on that industry
3. The adverse effect which the huge turbines, pylons and transmission lines will have on migratory and breeding bird populations in the region.

They have to have costly standby power when there is no wind but too much wind causes a surge of electricty which cannot be stored. In the past huge subsidies have been paid to the owners of the wind turbines making the overall cost of wind power more expensive than gas or nuclear.

Are you aware peat degradation is evident at Paul's Hill and Thurso in Scotland wind farms?

Can you assure us your planned wind farm mechanical vibrations (unrelated to acoustics) will not adversely impact on peat and other terrain; or delicate flora and fauna including bioaerosols, fungi, invertebrates etc?

If not will you indemnify taxpayer and business interests should they be harmed by such vibrations?
