“Go For It!” Greens Urge KBR
— 18 December 2009

Highland Greens today expressed dismay that Nigg owners KBR have delayed until May a decision on the manufacturing of offshore wind turbines at the former fabrication yard.

Party spokesperson Eleanor Scott said: “I really don't know what KBR are waiting for.  They describe the plans for offshore wind turbines as “high risk”, but this is mature technology with a growing market — there simply is no alternative to renewable energy for the future.

“KBR should stop dithering and just go for it — the proposals would be good for the planet and good for Easter Ross.”
