    Great picture in that Southern Reporter article. They do realise that it is a photo-shopped picture to show what a wind farm would look like?

    From http://www.dunionhill-conservation.org.uk/montage9.shtml

    "recent claims that the Borders was now at saturation point for turbines"

    There are actual very few turbines in the Borders due to the Seismological Station at Eskdalemuir. If concerns around vibration impact can be overcome/side-stepped then there will be lots more turbines appearing.
