A total of six storage compounds are planned for the fields around a rural village near Coldstream. Property values are sinking fast and residents are fed up. Welcome to the industrial vistas of the ‘green’ energy future, all in the vain hope of altering the climate. Many more such sites are on the way.

A rural community in the Borders is warning that Scotland’s renewable energy revolution is coming at a cost, says BBC News.
Residents of Leitholm – a village between Coldstream and Greenlaw – claim the heart is being ripped out of their community with the arrival of battery storage facilities.
If all six proposed facilities are approved, more than 200 acres of farmland will be turned over to concreted compounds within a three-kilometre radius of their village.
Retired nursery owner Seonaid Blackie said: “This is not the place it used to be – people are worried sick.”
. . .
With the National Grid predicting that the amount of energy storage will need to increase by six times before the end of the decade, bids for new battery compounds are following behind each substation development.
. . .
“Every part of Scotland could be affected by these developments.”
