| A Scottish utilities firm has unveiled plans to build Europe's largest wind farm near Glasgow, Scotland. The $110 million, 240-megawatt farm will have 140 turbines and will supply 150,000 local homes. Scottish Power says it will cut carbon dioxide emissions by 500,000 tons/year. The company still needs planning approval, and it could be three years before the farm is operational. Currently, Europe's largest wind farm is in Germany and produces 40 megawatts. Scottish Power plans to install a total of 400 megawatts of wind power in Scotland over the next few years. —MARIA BURKE |
