VE to create jobs south?
 

2 December 2008

Regarding David Thomson's letter ('Correcting The Figures', Shetland News, 29 Nov. 2008) I would like to say that in the presentation given to MSPs by Viking Energy the number of jobs seem to have increased quite dramatically both on the construction side as well as during the proposed life of the windfarm.

Could Viking Energy give a more accurate account as to where the jobs will be, who is going to pay their wages and whose money will be used?

My understanding of the figures is that there will be a lot more jobs outwith our islands than there will be here, so this would seem to be another step by Viking Energy to butcher the hills of Shetland for the benefit of people who don't even live here.
