    Airriequhillart Wind Farm Protest

    We oppose the Scottish Government’s destruction of Scotland’s scenery by forcing through Industrial Turbine Sites (wind farms) against the wishes of local people. In particular we oppose the proposed EDF­‐Airriequhillart project in Dumfries and Galloway. It is too close to existing homes and has poor road access. It will destroy a beautiful wooded, lowland valley, rich in wildlife, to produce an insignificant amount of electricity. Many millions of pounds will go to absentee landlords and the French Economy. We must . . .

    Stop the reckless siting of wind turbines in Scotland’s scenic landscapes

    http://chn.ge/VJ0gUn To: First Minister Salmond, Minister Ewing, Mr. Fraser and the Scottish People In 1849, John Muir, a young Scotsman emigrated to America with his family. He went on to become the driving force behind the protection of many of the national parks, forests and other pristine areas of wilderness here in the United States. Without this Scotsman many of the most glorious areas of North America (and all around the world) would have been lost to commercial development. The . . .

    Place giant wind turbines at least 2 km from human settlements!

    Go to sign petition:  https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Place_giant_wind_turbines_at_least_2_km_from_human_settlements/ Recently, there has been a lot of activity in Europe around the planning and building of large, modern-type wind turbines. We see wind energy as an important contributor to green energy, and we are in favor of exploiting wind energy as well as other kinds of green energy sources for Europe’s energy demands. However, new academic research performed in the USA and in Denmark has shown that the noise from modern, giant wind turbines contains . . .

    Resurrect the ‘Wind Turbines (Minimum Distances from Residential Premises) Bill’ by Lord Reay

    To sign, go to: epetitions.direct.gov.uk Responsible department: Department for Communities and Local Government We, the undersigned, urge the Government to resurrect the ‘Wind Turbines (Minimum Distances from Residential Premises) Bill’ by Lord Reay (HL Bill 17), which was dismissed in January 2012 after 2 readings. Whilst the issue of tackling climate change is an important one, it cannot be given greater priority than the health, safety and wellbeing of the people who would end up living in the shadow of . . .

    Support a Wind Turbine Moratorium

    FIT subsidies for wind are helping drive the cost of power up in Ontario. In January, Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore said wind turbines destroy more jobs than they create and lead to higher energy prices. The Auditor General of Ontario reported in December 2011 that billions of dollars of new wind and solar projects were approved “without many of the usual planning, regulatory, and oversight processes.” We are forced to buy intermittent wind power before other sources of energy, and . . .

    Save Gallitzin State Forest from Industrial Wind Development

    To be delivered to: The Pennsylvania State Senate Vote “NO” on SB 1425. An industrial wind project should not be sited in Gallitzin State Forest. Pennsylvania’s state forests should be managed for pure water, recreation, scenic beauty, plant and animal habitat, and sustainable timber. Industrial wind turbine projects should not be constructed on state forest lands. While Gallitzin State Forest in Cambria and Somerset Counties does have areas that were mined, many trees have been planted to reclaim this damaged . . .

    Stop wind energy subsidies TODAY

    We are at a CRITICAL crossroads. The future of the main wind energy subsidies – primarily the Production Tax Credit (PTC), but also the 1603 Treasury Grant program – is likely to be resolved (for now) as part of a payroll tax deal. The payroll tax cut was extended at the end of last year for 2 months, so a deal, if one is to be made, must be worked out by Wednesday, February 29. [Feb. 15:  The PTC was not included . . .
