Grass roots power for Scotland



The wee Scottish village of Fintry has embraced renewable energy by striking a deal with a company building a wind farm and agreeing to have an extra turbine built just for the village. Nice to see both renewable energy being so successfull and grass-roots level power (sorry, poor pun) for the people it affects working so well together, especially in a week where the old dream of the future, nuclear power, took a step closer to closure with Dounray, one of the original batch of UK nuclear power stations, closing down sections in preparation for eventual closure in a decade or two.
