Wind Turbines in Lewis

This is an interesting story. I've always felt that people who object to wind turbines are small-minded and petty, just protecting their own self interests and, more often than not, the price of their property investments.

However, reading this article about a planned wind farm for the Hebridean island of Lewis brings up another perspective. These are people who don't live a life fuelled by reality TV, iPods and fast food, yet their the ones who are going to suffer the upheaval. I won't summarise the article as it's worth reading in full, but I will say that although technoligical solutions are the key to sustainable lifestyles, there is also a balance to be struck between those who benefit and those who make sacrifices.
