One of the issues is around DNO’s getting permission to run the cabling required over private land – lots of charging sites built, but waiting (sometimes over a year) for the DNO to connect them to the grid.
There’s a consultation here to run a new HV cables (pylons) from Northern Scotland to Dundee to enable hookup of more windfarms, necessary, but of course, all of the nimbys say it will spoil the view…I will be able to see it, but that’s fine, you can’t say you want to go green and be less reliant on gas, then moan when the infrastructure that’s needed might be seen (it’s 5 miles away, not over the back fence).
The local town hall meeting was very negative, despite there already being pylon runs in the distance, one more would make sod all difference.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
