The environment minister says the Isle of Man will have to 'grapple with the issue of windfarms' in the near future.
John Shimmin says there are planning and environmental implications, but the Island needs to do something as it cannot remain dependent on imported oil for its fuel.
He says windmills will impact on somebody wherever they are located, but action is needed:
Gas supplier provides reassurance amid ongoing global market volatility
Isle of Man Energy expects any price rise in June to be 'modest'
Farmers in race against time after freight backlog in Heysham
Concern for crops and animals after delays to feed and fertiliser deliveries
Further changes to sailing schedule due to tidal restrictions
Manxman crossings affected over next three days
Census 'still one of the most valuable statistical tools' for government
Cabinet Office minister says technical can't count the population as well as the survey
