We have some sympathy for the objectors to the Holy Isle wind turbine plans who feel the odds were stacked against them from the start.
Certainly such is the surge of wind energy up and down the country that opposition seems to be simply swept away, while the developers look like they are being given planning assistance every step of the way.
Public consultation is a must for all green energy projects and it is important that everyone is in the full possession of the facts when developments are being decided.
