Sustainable Shetland is a campaign group opposed to very large scale wind farms in Shetland. We believe these large industrial projects are damaging to our local environment. We believe that the Viking Energy Project endangers Shetland Community Funds, and that project costs are underestimated, whilst project income grossly overestimated.
We believe that the Viking Energy proposals are everything we do not need in Shetland: they are financially risky and will damage the Shetland environment.
We want to see sustainable renewable energy projects in Shetland, and that these projects should be fit for scale, and provide real community benefit.
We aim to go beyond just being just an "anti-wind power campaign".
