Work started on largest wind farm in the EU

In an earlier post about wind farms in scotland I wrote about the approval and protests against these huge wind farms. According to the following article the works are started for Europe's largest wind farm

The UK government's trade and industry secretary, Alistair Darling, was at the launch this week of the work to create Europe's largest onshore wind farm on the Eaglesham Moor, south of Glasgow. The £300 million Whitelee project will have 140 large turbines generating 322 megawatts of electricity, estimated to be enough to power 200,000 homes, according to the Scottish Power estimates. Currently, Scotland produces 16% of its electricity from renewable sources (though the venerable hydro-electric power stations produce a good chunk of that). The wind farm will take three years to complete.
