Faking GREEN: Scotland’s wind turbines are secretly using generators that run on FOSSIL FUELS
01/03/2024 / By Zoey Sky
Scotland’s power sector faced backlash in February after it was revealed that dozens of giant turbines in the country were using diesel generators.
According to the whistleblower who revealed the practice, the “environmentally friendly” windmills were running because of hydrocarbon fuels, which are also known as fossil fuels.
The shocking revelation prompted various environmental, health and safety concerns, especially because the diesel-generated turbines were running for up to six hours a day.
Wind turbines required fossil fuels due to grid issues
According to ScottishPower, an electric power distribution company based in Glasgow, Scotland, the company had no choice but to connect 71 wind turbines to the fossil fuel supply after a fault on its grid.
The move was allegedly an attempt to keep the wind turbines warm and running in December, one of the coldest months of the year.
