Turbines are the classic Nimby’s domain with various local campaigns currently underway across Scotland against turbines, pylons and battery storage units.

It appears that very few people are still keen on green energy when it starts to impact on their own lives.

But regardless of the campaigns, green energy schemes are here to stay and we should all welcome that, even if the view out of your kitchen is not as nice as it once was.

The alternative, which is a return to coal and gas fired power stations, really isn’t an option and everyone should agree with that - even Donald Trump.
