Oppose Wind Turbine plan for Midlands - From Todays Irish Field:
At
a meeting of the Irish Thoroughbred Breeders Association on Thursday it was
agreed that the association oppose the intended wind turbine projects in the
midlands area.
ITBA
manager Shane O Dwyer said "The Associations office has had a flood of
calls in recent weeks from our members concerned about these turbines. As a
member driven association it is important that we respond to what we are
hearing"
He
added "The size of the turbines at 180 metres and the scale of the project
- with over 2000 spread across four counties threatens the beauty of the Irish
Landscape in the heart of one of Ireland's main bloodstock regions.
"All
of the energy generated would be for the British grid. We are not opposed to
renewable energy but this project is incompatible with breeding,
raising and training thoroughbreds.
