I went for a walk up Arthur's Seat, returning over Salisbury Crags. The top of Arthur's Seat was busy - I usually avoid Holyrood Park at the weekend - but it was easy to avoid people for most of the walk.

The turbine infrastructure at Leith Docks dominated the views. There was a ship carrying the large yellow pylons in the Forth, though I couldn't tell whether it was heaving for Leith or out to the wind farm in the North Sea!

This picture is from Salisbury Crags.

“Warracknabeal Energy Park gets Victorian approval as community worries about impact.’ (Source ABC News)

I’m not going to link to the article, it’s easy enough to find if required. I just wanted to point out that the #ABC reporting on the Victorian Govt approval for a very large windfarm project is absolutely disgraceful. For a public broadcaster with a remit to report and inform to report opposition opinions without providing the facts on the matter, is tantamount to #Lobbying on behalf of #NIMBYs and #ClimateDeniers.

The fact that this *local* *opposition* to the #WindFarm project invokes environmental concerns is especially galling given the environmental impact of their farming practices (past and present).

I don’t even want to talk about their BS concerns with “impacts on human health, on noise, on visual amenity loss”. I mean, visual amenity loss, really? It’s farmland morons. Why is the ABC platforming these nutters?
