Which Barry is our Barry?

There’s an old saying. Seven days in politics makes one weak. And last week we were fine tuning our blogging skills to applaud the Premier of New South Wales, Barry O’Farrell, for taking positive steps to bring wind farm operations under the control of the Environment Protection Authority. However, on finding out that the NSW … Continue reading Which Barry is our Barry?

The government wind farm meeting the Premier (probably) doesn’t know about

The New South Wales Government has caved into community pressure over coal seam gas mining partly due to the noise impact on local residents, while one of its departments is organising an invitation-only meeting to consolidate the state's wind farm industry. As reported in today's Sydney Morning Herald, the government has announced a ban on … Continue reading The government wind farm meeting the Premier (probably) doesn’t know about

I am a wind turbine host

Comment posted on STT, 17 February, 2003 I am a wind turbine host from South Australia and read the NSW Farmers Association guide. I was horrified and wondered if the organisation had been bought out by the wind industry. Incidentally, I have recently had an acoustic monitoring of the inside of our home over a … Continue reading I am a wind turbine host

Critical omissions and twisted commentary

"I find the lack of honest declaration is both astounding and appalling. The guide should be there to protect farmers, encourage them to do their own research before signing up for turbines (if they do their own research, I suggest it unlikely they would sign up), and to not fall for the smooth talking glossy … Continue reading Critical omissions and twisted commentary

Wind power – just better?

"The real reason for promoting alternative energy consumption such as wind power has little to do with the environment, from what we can tell, and everything to do with control. "The idea is to disenfranchise those who seek to be energy independent and to promote complex solutions that demand bureaucratic oversight." The Daily Bell - … Continue reading Wind power – just better?

Recently, the South Australian Environment Protection Authority and a company called Resonate Acoustics issued a joint paper called "Infrasound levels near windfarms and in other environments". The report claimed to have measured infrasound at a variety of locations, including urban and rural environments, both in the vicinity of wind developments and elsewhere. Resonate do a … Continue reading More propaganda from Herr Marsh of the Stasi

‘It’s like cigarettes in the 1950s …’

Ballarat-based sleep specialist Dr Wayne Spring first spoke on wind turbine sickness 18 months ago, comparing it to cigarette smoking's connection to cancer back in the 1950s. As reported in The Courier, Dr Spring said he had been treating patients living near the Waubra and Hepburn wind farms. “Research needs to be done into the … Continue reading ‘It’s like cigarettes in the 1950s …’

The biggest government sponsored fraud in the history of our country

"The snouts in the easy money making renewable energy trough are many and varied. "There is an urgent need to eliminate conflicts of interest within our government.  The only reason people are not rioting in the streets about the unjustified increase in their power bills is that they simply have no idea what is going … Continue reading The biggest government sponsored fraud in the history of our country
