Wind Farm Scam
An excellent gift for your local councillors/selectmen/zoning administrators! (Combine it with Wind Turbine Syndrome, by Dr. Nina Pierpont.) The spectre of global warming and the political panic surrounding it has triggered a goldrush for renewable energy sources without an open discussion of the merits and drawbacks of each. In The Wind Farm Scam Dr Etherington argues that in the case of wind power the latter far outweigh the former. Wind turbines cannot generate enough energy to reduce global CO2 levels . . .

Wind Farms Can Generate Angst
South Australians don’t want to live too close to industrial scale wind generators. We have more wind generation than any other State – in fact, we have one of the highest proportions in the world of wind power generation. More than half of Australia’s installed wind power is in South Australia. Wind-powered generation is seen as totally eco-friendly and green. However, concern is building over its cost, health effects and aesthetics. Community opposition to industrial scale wind generators is increasing. . . .
“Too Close”
A look into the siting of industrial wind turbine projects in residential areas. You’ll hear from those who experience the shadow flicker and ill health effects of the Hull and Falmouth Massachusetts turbines. You’ll see how another small town is gearing up for a fight against government and the goliath that is the big wind industry.

Mountaintop Open House planned for Lowell wind project construction site
The Lowell Mountain Occupiers will hold a second “Mountaintop Open House” on the ridgeline adjacent to the Lowell Wind Project on Sunday, December 4th. “The purpose of the Open House is to allow people to see what’s happening on the mountain and have their questions answered in a non-judgmental, non-confrontational setting,” says organizer Anne Morse. Individuals with a wide range of interests and questions may wish to attend: those in favor of wind power but conflicted about ridgeline development; concerned . . .
Wind Power Horror Serenade
This is a true story of an old freedom fighter’s valiant stand against the unjustice of wind power, with music as a weapon. On April 9th, 1940, Denmark was occupied by German troops. The first years of occupation there was no resistance. Then a small group of youngsters in a high school in Aalborg, Northern Jutland, started a kind of sabotage and began to steel weapons from the Germans. Their activities had no real results, but the youths became known . . .
Tell Maine DEP: Stop Oakfield Wind!
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 – 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 . . .
