Scotland’s a winner with wind power
SCOTLAND’S wind turbines have generated record amounts of power this year.
Analysis of WeatherEnergy data by WWF Scotland revealed that in June alone, they sent 1,039,001MWh to the National Grid – enough to fuel three million homes.
WWF director Dr Sam Gardner said: “The first six months of 2017 have certainly been incredible for renewables, with wind turbines alone helping to ensure millions of tons of climate-damaging carbon emissions were avoided.
“Scotland is continuing to break records on renewable electricity.”
Trailer tragedy
Eight people were found dead in a tractor trailer near a Walmart store in San Antonio, Texas, yesterday. Police were “looking at a human trafficking crime”.
