This one is really funny, do people on Skye not realise they need power? The nimbyism of second home owners is just off the charts I'll wager

Should be wireless power by now, what are they thinking needing power lines in 2024!

Public bloody enquiry. Aren't all these new power lines mandated by both Holyrood and Westminster?

Other way around - Skye has the renewable power; the old cables that need replacing bring it to the mainland.

Yes, and where does Skye get power from when the wind isn't blowing?
