The Scotsman is running an article where Scottish people apparently favour wind farms over nuclear technology. EDP ran a survey in YouGov asking about preferred sources of technology and Scottish people favoured wind farms. More than eight out of ten Scots backed offshore wind farms and 69 per cent were in favour of onshore turbines. Similarly, when questioned about different energy sources for producing electricity, 74 per cent said their impression of wind farms was favourable, compared to just 43 per cent for nuclear.
However, the overall position in the UK concerning and active interest in climate change has significantly decreased from 80% in 2006 to 62% in 2010. the results are based on a sample of 4300 adults.
Unfortunately I don't think the Scottish people get the correct information from the media or government to be able to make a correctly reasoned choice.
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting. Could you point us to other sources of information which are reliable about the impact of wind farms? many thanks Virginia Cano
