Calm down

Jonathan…..for goodness sake calm down!!  (Sabotage of local public interests, SN, 17 May 13)

This public slagging off of Sustainable Shetland does you no credit whatsoever.

Clearly, it appears that Sustainable Shetland have been proved correct in their claim that the VE wind farm is not currently financially viable.  So accept the fact.

Of more concern should be the obvious conclusion that the highly paid experts and financial gurus from whom Sustainable Shetland were taking advice were clearly better informed – or considerably more honest – than those advising VE, the council and the charitable trust. 

So instead of slanging them as saboteurs of Shetland, perhaps your time would be better spent constructively listening to what they have to say and considering very carefully if they may perhaps be correct in any of their other ‘outrageous‘ claims.

It is obviously too much to hope that any renewable energy projects coming to Shetland could be conceived in such a way so they are embraced by a majority of the population; rather than in the divisive fashion that has characterised the VE project from day one.
