		<description><![CDATA[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 &#8220;green&#8221; 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.

		<description><![CDATA[Responsible department: Department for Energy and Climate Change Electricity bills have soared, and more increases are in the pipeline. This punishes the 6 million people already in fuel poverty, restricts economic growth, and makes British industry less competitive. A key factor in this increase is the Renewables Obligation, which indirectly provides more than 40% of the income of wind-farms. These complex and covert subsidies (most of which go to foreign companies) are paid not by the government, but instead are .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First Wind of Boston is seeking to drastically change the size and scope of the proposed Oakfield Wind Project. First Wind (Evergreen Wind Power II, LLC) is seeking to build 50 wind turbines, almost double the original number proposed in their original application. The new turbines will stand at 459 feet tall &#8211; the equivalent height of a 45 story building. The proposed modification amounts to an enormous change; and the differences in the impacts of noise and vibration between .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[http://www.assemblywales.org/gethome/e-petitions/epetition-list-of-signatories.htm?pet_id=595 We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to pass a statute controlling the noise nuisance from wind turbines during anti-social hours. We ask for the implementation of respite periods during which time turbines would be switched off. Noise respite periods are common in public health legislation. They are called for by the World Health Organisation in their Community Noise report; and are currently implemented in the U.K. on airport operations, construction sites and .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Yorkshire Wolds is currently under threat from the Wind Farm Industry. Applications to build major commercial developments are spreading across the Wolds at an alarming rate and threaten to devalue this valued landscape. Here at the No to Wolds Wind Farm Group we already consider this area an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) but it has yet to be officially recognised as such. The Lincolnshire Wolds already benefits from this protection so why not the Yorkshire Wolds? Please .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>
