Feeling Drained

The things we'll do to get our hands on some fossil fuel...

Scottish Coal have applied for permission to drain a loch and turn it into an opencast coal mine.

Let me run that by you again. They want to drain a loch.

Specifically, Loch Fitty in Fife.

They've already closed down the fishery on the Loch, but say that after they've raped the landscape they'll restore it.

Or, in other words, they'll leave their big hole out in the rain for a few years to fill up again.
