It's unfortunate we have reached the stage of energy companies having to pay for radar systems to smooth through renewable energy projects, but I'd rather that than no wind farm.
It'd be good to see some true leadership from the government, rather than putting forward the argument of importance of renewable power for the future of the nation, whilst doing little in the way of decision making where there are conflicting interests.
Thankfully Beauly-Denny will go ahead and there is at last a promising ocean hydro project off Orkney.
Either we can live with areas of limited coverage, or we can work towards a more comprehensive radar system, but I don't think doing nothing in terms of power generation is an option.
