I trust that it is ok.for me to use the blog window to make comment on those of responders to my blog of 8/11/05. Ifeel that it is only right that I should acknowledge their efforts this way rather than the usual way; and that might not notice. I trust this is in order and that nobody minds.
SUNNY FROM ARRAN:
I'm surprised that you all picked on WIND FARMS which only got a brief mention in my blog, while the main part extoled the beauty of Mull and Morven.
I am aware, as you mentioned, that there are other methods of providing clean power, but at the moment wind turbines are at the forefront, though not acceptable by many, as they are well tried to perform in the wind.
I am aware that there are certain hazzards, and to bird life. This gives me a lot of concern and I would hope that that a proper placing of any turbines would be of help in this direction. May the show go on with this well in view.
May I mention at this stage, without being in anyway snide, that many denizens of the natural world, including birds, could be lost forever, in view of the present climate problem, whether natural or man made.
JOHN FROM JURA:
Wind Farms "in the right place". well if that means situated in a suitable place, I agree that this would be a suitable policy.
I agree with you too about the other options and the importance of a agreeable cost structure.
But when the long term wellbeing of the world, as a whole, is at stake we must seriously have to think what will have to be somewhat garnished and what will not not.
Maybe it is a matter ultimately, of :
"Forward though I canna see, I dread and fear."
If there was another way than that persued at present, I'd be the first to give my approval. I'd hate to think that you'd consider my ambitions as being in the one direction.
ANNE FROM MULL :
Tiree it appears is to get one turbine, though I thought at one time there would have been more. I believe that we are all looking forward to what is in view. It is surprising how this one turbine is going to benefit the economy of the island for the next twenty years.I believe we are being restricted from the larger development owing to the lack of capacity in the present supply cable to carry power.

Hi Island Wanderer. Could you tell me where the turbine will be built on Tiree. Will it be sited in the place where it will cause least visual impact and where most people would prefer it to be built or will it end up being built in the cheapest site nearest the grid?
Anne from Mull
What should we conclude from the lack of an answer?
