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. . . .

Oppose Extension of Production Tax Credit (and 1603 Grant Program)
H.R.3307, “American Renewable Energy Production Tax Credit Extension Act of 2011″, was introduced in the House of Representatives on Nov. 2, 2011, and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. The Production Tax Credit (PTC) currently provides 2.2 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity production for 10 years and is the primary means of tax avoidance that makes wind development so lucrative for big energy companies and investors. It is scheduled to expire for wind at the end of . . .

Dirty Business: the reality behind Ontario’s rush to wind power
Book to be released September 12, 2011 Ontario’s government has looked to “renewable” sources of energy such as wind and solar to create jobs in the wake of the failure of the auto sector. But at what price? Wind power generation is now being seen around the world as an expensive boondoggle, in which money is spent by the billions to create an unreliable, inefficient and expensive source of power. What is the situation in Ontario? Why didn’t the lessons . . .
