I didn't say it was a summary. The way the site is organised you can't see whose comment you are clicking on and it takes forever to click through to look at the comments. I just found myself going through six in a row that were from London or Oxford. The small sample I had time to look at may well not be typical.

Yes, it's a very obscure and clumsy system. I couldn't even find my own but most of those I read were local.

those of you worried about the wind farms should have a look at this site, personally i think it would be good for the ''community'' especially the dog walkers-

I see that Kilninver And Kilmelford Community Council have submitted a representation for this planning application but to date Seil And Easdale Community Council have not made a submission.

Thought i would ask
Is Hydro a more efficient way of collecting electricity?
What about nuclear? Is it a Greener way of powering a future independent Scotland?

Hydroelectric power generation is by far the most efficient method of large scale electric power generation in terms of energy conversion. Sites suitable for hydro are obviously fewer than sites suitable for wind turbines though.
Nuclear is low-carbon but whether or not it is 'green' is a matter for debate.
