Besat af vind (Possessed by wind)
Ren elektricitet fra industriel vindkraft har en dyster skyggeside— Besværende støj, der kan høres igennem lyden fra fjernsynet. Generende skygger, der bølger hen over landskabet og gennem vinduerne ind i husets værelser. Roterende bevægelser i landskabet, hvor man end kigger. Blinkende røde eller hvide advarselslys på nattehimlen. En egenrådig vindindustri der spiller på angsten for global opvarmning, klimaforandringer og atomkraft. Uden at der tages nævneværdige hensyn til naboer, der får deres tilværelse slået itu. Skadevirkningerne på natur og mennesker står . . .

Responsible department: Department for Energy and Climate Change We appeal to our MPs to represent our views and to vehemently oppose these projects. These plants are an uneconomical and inefficient way to produce electricity and are only pursued by the Government to secure the “green” vote and to keep the EU happy. Locally, they industrialise the landscape, have detrimental health, financial and other effects on peoples lives, destroy wildlife and have a negative impact on tourism. The billions of pounds . . .

These complex and covert subsidies (most of which go to foreign companies) are paid not by the government, but instead are . . .
