UK Energy Policy: The Small Business Perspective & The Impact on the Rural Economy
January, 2006
by Candida Whitmill for and on behalf of The Small Business Council
This report surveys the intense debate now taking place as to why
the chosen strategy is not achieving its objectives. We believe that a
principal factor is to be found in the increasingly controversial renewable
energy policy, which is widely criticised for its lack of balance and its
over-emphasis on onshore wind at the expense of other technologies.
An analysis by Views of Scotland of a report published in 2002 by VISITSCOTLAND entitled "Investigation into the Potential Impact of Wind Turbines on Tourism in Scotland".
Written in 2000 by the Country Guardian, the UK's leading 'action group', this report addresses comprehensively wind issues in the UK. As one of the first papers of its kind, it is generally viewed as a 'classic' and 'required reading' for those interested in becoming thoroughly familiar with the diverse impacts of industrial wind.
