The Environment Minister says the Island will have to "grapple with the issue of windfarms" in the near future.
John Shimmin says whilst he's fully aware there will be planning and environmental implications, the Island needs to do something as it cannot remain dependent upon imported oil for our energy needs.
He believes wherever such schemes are located they will impact on someone, but there's little choice:
Storm Dave to bring severe gales
Gusts up to 75mph expected on Saturday
Manx Care 'attempting to establish contact' with dental provider as patients face uncertainty
Smile Dental Care 'not currently providing services'
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
Talks taking place over mitigation measures as sailing schedule disrupted
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
Manxman's crossings held up overnight and throughout Good Friday
