Contact the prime minister

In light of Tom Morton’s opinion piece (Welcome to Turbineland; SN, 1 September 2019) all may not be lost and the Viking Energy wind farm may yet be blocked.

Unless considerably subsidy is made available (CfD auction) and £710 million funding found for an interconnector, the project will fail.

A direct approach to 10 Downing Street where a government is in considerable need for new funds for education, the health service, policing and, dare I say, Brexit may stop this ghastly project.

It is easy to do by email. Waiting for the SIC certainly will achieve nothing. To contact the prime minister click here.
