A giant wind farm will push puffins and kittiwakes in Scotland to the edge of extinction, the RSPB has warned. Berwick Bank will eventually have 300 turbines with a capacity of 4.1 gigawatts, which would make it the biggest offshore wind farm in the world. Anne McCall, director of RSPB Scotland has called Berwick Bank 'the deadliest wind farm for birds'. However SSE, the Scottish energy company developing the Berwick Bank wind farm, said: 'Berwick Bank has been meticulously designed and its delivery will combat climate change, which is the biggest threat to seabirds.' 'These are the highest prices for offshore wind in a decade and higher than the current cost of electricity,' she said.
