Greenpeace said that it backed the use of wind energy as a way of reducing global warming.
But it said the cost of laying an undersea cable to the mainland had determined the scheme's size. It also fears for the impact on bird numbers.
Greenpeace is concerned that a variety of rare birds, including golden eagles, merlins, dunlins and greenshanks, could be displaced or killed by the development.
Of course, I'm concerned about the NIMBY-type anti-wind activists grabbing onto this and saying "Look, even Greenpeace doesn't like wind power," so I can't say enough that they don't like this particular project.
