We do not want any more onshore wind turbines/farms in Norfolk or elsewhere in the UK
Responsible department: Department for Energy and Climate Change We appeal to our MPs to represent our views and to vehemently oppose these projects. These plants are an uneconomical and inefficient way to produce electricity and are only pursued by the Government to secure the “green” vote and to keep the EU happy. Locally, they industrialise the landscape, have detrimental health, financial and other effects on peoples lives, destroy wildlife and have a negative impact on tourism. The billions of pounds . . .
Reduce electricity bills by reforming the subsidies for wind farms
Responsible department: Department for Energy and Climate Change Electricity bills have soared, and more increases are in the pipeline. This punishes the 6 million people already in fuel poverty, restricts economic growth, and makes British industry less competitive. A key factor in this increase is the Renewables Obligation, which indirectly provides more than 40% of the income of wind-farms. These complex and covert subsidies (most of which go to foreign companies) are paid not by the government, but instead are . . .

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 . . .

Ile Maurice – Sauvons le parc national et la région de Bras d’Eau
http://www.petitions24.net/ile_maurice_-_sauvons_le_parc_national_et_la_region_de_bras_deau Nous sommes sous la grande menace d’une implantation de 2 parcs éoliens en bordure, d’un côté par un parc national nouvellement décrété officiellement par le gouvernement mauricien avec sa faune et flore endémiques exceptionnelles, et de l’autre côté par un petit village côtier de pêcheurs et de petits planteurs à Roches Noires. Ce projet gigantesque est mis en place par une firme française et un partenaire mauricien dans le nord de notre petite île qui fait à peine 1865 . . .
Petition: Control of noise nuisance from wind turbines
http://www.assemblywales.org/gethome/e-petitions/epetition-list-of-signatories.htm?pet_id=595 We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to pass a statute controlling the noise nuisance from wind turbines during anti-social hours. We ask for the implementation of respite periods during which time turbines would be switched off. Noise respite periods are common in public health legislation. They are called for by the World Health Organisation in their Community Noise report; and are currently implemented in the U.K. on airport operations, construction sites and . . .
