So what?
If I lived on Skye I'd be bloody delighted to have a windmill at the
back of the house.


Then I feel that you would be in the minority ..

Have you actually asked the people on Skye?
The people who, knowing that they were among the last in the UK to get
mains power, aren't given much of a ****e about by the powers that be?
The people who, if there's a major breakdown in overground /underwater
power links, know that they will still have some locally-produced
power?


Unlikey. Most windmills don't operate standalone: need a grid to synch to.

Mind you, there are so many ****ing incomers on the island now, it'd
be bloody hard to find some with a clue.
