RSPB Working with Windfarm Organizers
Shetland Today reports that although wildlife lobby group Proact is petitioning the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) to increase its opposition to windfarm developments in the works in the UK, the RSPB plans to work with the windfarm developers rather than stand in the way. RSPB is standing in favor of renewable energy and windfarms as long as the windfarms do not incringe on the space of protected habitats. In the case of Viking Energy’s plans to build a 600-megawatt-windfarm in Shetlan, the RSPB has been working with them from the start to avoid potential problems with habitat.
