last week started on a Shetland wind factory that produces electric for the people of Shetland, it was said it produces between 8 – 18 % of Shetlands electric, the fact that this was a local wind factory producing electric for local people interested me but unfortunately the programme then went on to other things it came back to Shetland at the end as Shetland wants to build a 150 turbine wind factory to provide electricity for Shetlanders and sell any extra to the national grid, (if any of this is wrong I apologise but this was how I heard it)

the company that will be building and owning the new wind factory and owns the current one of 5 turbines is community owned, if anyone can offer further info I would love to hear, if you want to know more follow the link to ,

Now why couldn’t/can’t the Comhairle here on Lewis do something community owned for the people of Lewis instead of wanting to sell out to big business??? (no I don’t expect an answer),
