A proposal to build Europe's largest onshore wind farm in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, have been approved.

152 turbines will be constructed in Clyde, and should be capable of powering up to 320,000 homes.

  • Wind power: an excellent way to top into readily available energy without leaving a huge carbon footprint.

  • Finally, we are starting to get it. Check out The Pickens Plan. USA must do this as well.

  • Hopefully the rest of the world will follow this good example. Rather than pursuing offshore oil drilling...

  • This is wonderful!!

    On a side note, I also think the windmills are rather nice to look at spinning in the air-- a better aesthetic than industrial looking oil refineries.

  • As Mr. Gore suggested, it doesn't matter why oil tycoons are eagerly embracing Wind Power technologies. It's still a step in the right direction. Hope they get just as lustful in the profit race for Solar.

  • It's awesome....all of our energy needs are right here on this Planet....we just need to learn to harness these resources without negatively effecting our environments and each other....together, we can make a difference within our communities and on a global level....

  • This is not only important for powering houses, but this opens the door for electric cars receiving power through a renewable, clean resource. Kudos Scotland!

  • Finally, we're in the news for something other than leading the developed world in terms of lowest life expectancy, heart attacks and sectarian violence.

  • There's so much wind in the northern and southern parts of the world, I really can't see why we don't transform everything beyond 70 latitude to wind farm land: seriously there is so little natural beauty etc..., for example on the continent of Antarctica alone, that it'd be a reasonable sacrifice.

    And before you start, we could work AROUND the penguins and whales.

  • The scotch is safe and this is a great step forward I hope the world is watching Scotland and Texas as well. I would love to see the day when oil is considered "Old Technology".

  • Well done Scotland! I bet there were more than a few NIMBYs trying to put a stop to this.

  • Woo hoo!!!! I *heart* SCOTLAND!!! All these occurrences of countries getting into the renewable resource business will only encourage the rest of us to do so as well. YAY!!

  • ...Why did 'scotch' come up with my country? We're not drunks! ...meanies!

  • There's a workshop on building a turbine at the BIG Tent Festival this weekend.

  • This is very positive news! I am extremely impressed that Scotland is taking the initiative. I am still disheartened that the United States isn't setting an example.
