also here, if you have telegram, interesting comments, if not, here are some:
One with Greek username says they burn in Greece to install wind farms too.
"In Greece the same thing is being done right now. The actual purpose of the fires."

There is a poor excuse for this, that trees were cut down over 20 years
"According to the government agency Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS), 14 million trees were cut down to make way for wind farms in Scotland, but this had occurred over 20 years.", if true at all.

The plan to counter this bullshit is the lordship deal where they plant a tree with your 50usd donation.

"Next up: Scotland not doing enough to prevent global warming as the scottish net carbon output increases" Then they chop down ALL the trees to replace with windmills.

What could go wrong, right?

Poor excuse indeed - if Scotland is building wind farms at all, it is already doing worse than just using that land for more carbon-converting trees.

Last time I checked, every possible lowlife worthless internet billionaire was buying huge part of land there, like prime example is a some fashion retailer who is now Scotland's largest private landowner, just horrible. Also, I was stunned when searching their national TV news something, seeing Scotland is to Britain as Finns are to Sweden, so lots of effective servility.

I’m sure you mean six million. Everything is always six million. It’s the only way evil can be justified. The numbers have to work for (((those))) in charge.

I live here, they have slowly cut the trees down and installed wind turbines, I could see them from my old home, albeit in the distance.

reminds me

Dozens of giant turbines on Scotland’s windfarms have been powered by diesel generators

so green. Not to mention the fins are not recyclable.
