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 . . .

Facts: Østerild Klitplantage is a peace forest with several rare and threatened species and nobody knows . . .
Petition: Control of noise nuisance from wind turbines

Realities and Legalities – Other Perspectives on Industrial Wind Energy
Dave & Stephanie Hulthen and their four children live in the home pictured below. It was their dream farmhouse in rural Dekalb County, Illinois, until the wind turbines moved in next door. Today the Hulthen family lives surrounded by thirteen 40-story turbines within one mile of their house, the two closest a mere 1400 feet away. When the realities of living with their new neighbors became clear, they launched their blog, Our Life with Dekalb Turbines, to record and share . . .
