The grid unlocked will provide energy from the Highlands, throughout UK and onwards to Denmark via the 'Viking Link' for commercial gain. Orchestrated by multi-national investment groups, front loading capital in turbine install, delivered by SSEN and similar companies owned by International Investors, with full encouragement/consent by our Scottish and UK governments.
The much lauded timeframe of 2030 hyped to the max is destined to be deferred. Multiple TV and Press Ads legitimising industrialisation of the landscape in tandem with prospective community handouts are designed to deflect our views and concerns.
It is an utter abomination that our landscape, wildlife, history and food security within areas of outstanding beauty, such as Carrol Rock, Glen Loth and Deeside will be ripped assunder to furnish the pockets of International Investors and shareholders alike. Energy bills will increase to facilitate the programme, jobs will also increase however these will fall of the cliff post build.
We are not Luddites. Cable install is required, however sea and underground methods must take preference regardless of cost. Germany buries its HV cables - why not us! As we do not have the general support of our politicians, we need to collaberate with other affected communities, actively lobby our elected Regional Council representatives and seek legal argument against desecration of our environment.
Collective protestation! We have to prevail.
