Too big. Too Intrusive. Too close to protected areas. Too disruptive to community infrastructure.
Scotland's grid is already green. Windpower far exceeds demand and export capacity, and is growing much faster leading to skyrocketing curtailment payments and ever-increasing electricity bills.
Construction jobs will be temporary. Only 5 Full time equivalent jobs will be created. Galileo/Empower are offering a community fund of £5000 per installed MW (the minimum recommended by the Scottish Government). A community poll revealed that people would overwhelmingly prefer to preserve their environment rather than host this infrastructure.
