‘Very big concerns’: Civil engineer slams offshore wind plans

Retired civil engineer Col Poulter warns the offshore wind plans pose a “huge risk” if they are continued to be developed. “We couldn’t find anything about this project, we just knew it was going ahead – 1,000 square kilometres of huge turbines in the water,” Mr Poulter said. “We decided as a community to try and do our own research, we had a first look at it – very, very big concerns. “It was a high risk to both the environment and engineering wise as well.”
