BUT we need more if we are to stand a chance of making community owned offshore wind a reality. This is a very simple survey that on average takes less than 5 minutes to complete. </p> <p>The survey can be accessed at <a href="https://energy4all.co.uk/offshore/" rel="nofollow">https://energy4all.co.uk/offshore/</a></p> <p>We would be very grateful if you could also forward this e-mail on to your friends and family in Scotland and encourage them to complete it too.</p> <p>If you use social media please share our pinned posts with your friends, family and acquaintances:</p> <p><a href="https://bit.ly/Twitter_Scotwind" rel="nofollow">https://bit.ly/Twitter_Scotwind</a></p> <p><a href="https://bit.ly/Facebook_Scotwind" rel="nofollow">https://bit.ly/Facebook_Scotwind</a> </p> <p><a href="https://bit.ly/LinkedIn_Scotwind" rel="nofollow">https://bit.ly/LinkedIn_Scotwind</a> </p> <p>Kind Regards</p> <p>Marna McMillin<br /> CEO</p> <p>“ </p>
