Ad ruling gives UK wind power industry a boost

  • 01/12/2000

Britain's advertising watchdog gave the country's fledgling wind power industry a morale boost yesterday in ordering a Scottish community group to stop running misleading ads about the impact of wind farms. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said that a regional press ad by a pressure group against building the Glens of Foudland Wind Farm in northern Scotland had exaggerated the potential effects on house prices, traffic and the environment.
