Massive Wind Energy Plan Rejected by Scottish Government. BBC News, April 21, 2008. "Plans to construct one of Europe's largest onshore wind farms has been refused by the Scottish Government. It said Lewis Wind Power's (LWP) 181-turbines for Lewis on the Western Isles did not comply with European law protecting sensitive environments. The scheme had the backing of the local authority and business, but attracted almost 11,000 objections. LWP said it was 'bitterly disappointed' with the decision and said the farm would have created hundreds of jobs. Scottish ministers decided the project would have a serious impact on the Lewis Peatlands Special Protection Area."
