Something fishy off the coast of Fife

As if Scotland's fishermen didn't already have enough problems to contend with, their livelihood is now also being threatened by windfarm developments. Instead of learning from the plight of fishermen in Holderness, Yorkshire, the Scottish Government is going ahead with plans which will directly impact fishing off the East Neuk of Fife. This, in turn, will affect an area which has already suffered the decline and death of the mining industry. It may also have a negative effect on the tourist industry in East Fife. Are the East Neuk villages going to be quite as quaint and attractive with huge turbines just offshore? It would be a different matter if the windfarms were going to provide local jobs. Instead, the subsidies paid for by an extra premium on our fuel bills will go to line the pockets of foreign companies. The Dutch have realised this and cut subsidies to windfarms. Time for the SNP to do the same.
