Killer blades

Regular readers of this blog will know that Calton is not a fan of windfarms. One of the reasons is the fact that, as far as Sea Eagles are concerned, they are killers. Although the blades of a large turbine may not seem to be going round all that fast, their tips can be travelling through the air at 150mph. How would you like to be whacked on the back of the head by the equivalent of an express train while innocently going about your daily business? Sadly, lots of Norwegian Sea Eagles, and one which had been introduced into Ireland, have had just that experience with fatal results. Calton is just hoping that the youngsters which are soon to be released into the wild in Fife will have the sense to avoid the monstrosity which FMC Technologies has erected on the edge of Dunfermline.
