A planning application has been submitted for the Glen Ullinish Wind Farm in Skye.
£250,000, every year, has been offered for the communities affected by this development and the Isle of Skye and Highland Council has been promised that it will receive £6.25 million every year of the wind farm’s existence.
We are talking about 25 years, which is £162.5m, so there must be a lot of profit (subsidies) in the turbine business.
I am sure, however, that the authority will not be influenced.
