My first comment is to the courageous people of Scotland, Congratulations! It is my belief that the people of Scotland should be able to build a wind farm in Scottish waters, if they choose to. You have won a major victory. Donald Trump does not speak for all Americans; there are those of us who supported you in this legal battle.

The Scottish Government has stated: “Climate change is one of the most serious threats facing the world.” I have published many stories about the inspiring work that the people of this island nation are doing to protect our planet. My wish is that all governments and peoples have the foresight and courage to address this issue as brilliantly as Scotland continues to do.

Today’s decision has not altered our unwavering commitment to protect our investment in Scotland.
We are reviewing Lord Doherty’s decision and will pursue the legal options available to us as recommended by our counsel. Communities worldwide continue to challenge the destructive proliferation of wind turbines and we will remain a fierce opponent at the forefront of this battle.
Despite today’s decision, the EOWDC proposal has numerous economic and legal obstacles that will ultimately prevent its construction.

Living with respect for the environment close at hand, the food chain, natural remedies for healing the earth, people and animals is a life-long expression and commitment. As half of a home-building team, I helped design and build harmonious, sustainable and net-zero homes that incorporate clean air systems, passive and active solar energy as well as rainwater collection systems. Private aviation stirs a special appeal, I would love to fly in the solar airplane and install a wind turbine in my yard.
