Advertisement in the Chilton, Wisc., Times-Journal, October 25, 2007. It was written by Don Bangert on behalf of the farmer, whose contract — following the norm — with the wind company prevents him from speaking openly about any problems. Bangert told National Wind Watch that other farmers have the same feelings expressed here, and if they were allowed to speak there would be no difficulty in passing serious setback and noise restrictions.

We are pleading with you to please answer a few of the questions we submitted to you several times over the last year. We are desperately waiting for you to respond.
1. If a turbine is sited 1,150’ from our homes, will we be affected by the noise? Please provide scientific documentation. The National Academy Study recommends 2,640′ to mitigate noise. Will . . .

Petition to British Prime Minister
“We petition the Prime Minister to Stop erecting wind turbines. 1000 tonnes of concrete is required to install each turbine. Concrete production is the second most polluting industrial process in the world. Wind turbines produce a low and unreliable source of power that cannot be relied upon, so conventional power stations are kept running as backup anyway. Wind Turbines are noisy and spoil our landscape. Please prevent any more from being installed.”
Sign the petition at 10 Downing St’s E-Petition site: . . .

Reform of siting process for wind projects under 100 MW
Comments due by Dec. 8! Click here

“7. Specific Description of Policy Proposal: Legislation would contain the following elements: (1) definitions of large and small wind energy systems; (2) a requirement on the PSC to draft uniform standards for siting large and small wind energy systems; (3) creation . . .
