Wind farm companies given carte blanche to destroy wildlife
I am horrified at the way in which wind farm companies are being given carte blanche to destroy our landscape and wildlife.
is done for money and nothing else. People are being conned into thinking wind energy is a good thing for the climate. The thousands of birds, bats and insects that are killed by the blades turning at up to 200klm an hour is not acceptable.
These companies are taking billions of pounds from things such as hospitals, schools and not one coal fired power station will close.
In fact, it is predicted that more will be built to keep the turbines going. It is now fact that the noise and the shadow flicker can cause epilepsy as not only is it heard from miles around but there is the subliminal noise that you feel. I urge people not to be conned and do there own homework before blindly accepting what spin doctors say.
