Who would have thought it. Just anounced today.

"After a five year-battle for planning approval, developers have started work on Europe's biggest onshore wind farm - a 140-turbine creation at the heart of Scotland's drive to become the "Saudi Arabia" of renewable energy."

The biggest objector to this project initaly was not the locals (what locals the area is desolate) but the Brittish Airports Authority.

"BAA has opposed the plan for the past two years amid concerns that the 140 giant turbines could make planes coming in to land at Glasgow airport on a key approach “disappear” from radar screens."
"An additional primary radar system costing about £5m will be built at Kincardine in Fife to track aircraft directly above Whitelee. Data from Kincardine will be fed into a new radar display system at Glasgow where it will be merged with the data from the existing radar to provide an acceptable service for air traffic control.

So it just goes to show you can not just "plant" a wind farm anywhere you like [Linked Image]
