"It’s a widely held conception that Denmark is one of the world’s least corrupt countries. The message is always warmly received, but this isn’t the same as saying that Denmark is free of corruption. "I’m not qualified to speak about corruption in general, but there is one area in which I do have an in-depth … Continue reading Something (very) rotten in Denmark

We are a group of citizens concerned about the rapid spread of industrial wind power generation installations across Australia.
Er, Leanne, what do you call this?
Isn't it interesting how things operate when money is at stake. Here is a copy of a letter from the secretary of the NSW Farmers Association, Leanne Heath, to Mid Western Regional Council. Ms Heath refers to an unnamed survey that found 70 per cent of people favor wind energy. She also talks about propaganda, … Continue reading Er, Leanne, what do you call this?
These people knew – and did nothing
Remember these faces. Burn them into your memory. Long after the Royal Commission (we're certain there will be one*), long after the books and documentaries and newspaper articles, long after the PhD theses, remember one thing. These people knew. They were told. And they did nothing. They chose to ignore that an industry was receiving … Continue reading These people knew – and did nothing
Open mind, changed mind, changed world
Some time ago, it may have been last year, it may have been the year before, we attended one of DLP Senator John Madigan's community wind farm forums. The wind farm issue is no longer new. For many of us, it's become so much a part of the fabric of our lives, the timing is … Continue reading Open mind, changed mind, changed world
This has been going on since 2004
It took the wind industry a while to wake up, but when it did, it turned on Dr Sarah Laurie with all the viciousness of a prison dog. Let us give you some examples. Laurie is director of that "malign, shadowy creature", the Waubra Foundation. Her claims are based on questionable investigations. She is not … Continue reading This has been going on since 2004
Yet another study linking wind turbines and infrasound
'We believe there is evidence of symptoms in patients exposed to wind turbine noise, but some maintain that the effects of Wind Turbine Syndrome are just examples of the well-known stress effects of exposure to noise. 'However, there is an increasing body of evidence to suggest that there are physiological effects of infrasound and low … Continue reading Yet another study linking wind turbines and infrasound
Safety, health and public welfare
"I have never investigated a noise problem where the public has been so vocal about ruined lives and home abandonment. Why are neighbors complaining about industrial wind turbines? Why are regulatory agencies unable to protect public health and wellbeing? "I recommend that anyone who thinks wind turbines are good acoustic neighbors to do what I … Continue reading Safety, health and public welfare
As always, money and power is in the hands of corporate wind …
Guest poster: Frank Campbell, Elmhurst, Victoria, Australia. Frank is a retired sociologist and former supporter of the Greens. It's galling that paid propagandists like Leigh Ewbank (Pyrenees Advocate, February 1, 2013), safe in their Carlton castles, lecture rural people about the wonders of wind turbines. The rural press is flooded with their formula letters. Like … Continue reading As always, money and power is in the hands of corporate wind …
Another doctor speaks out
"The old saw that a doctor’s best teacher is his patient is true and obviously applicable here. "From a purely clinical perspective I believe the acoustic trauma produced by large wind turbines is real and significant." Written testimony presented January 31, 2013, to the Vermont Senate Natural Resources Committee concerning S.30, a bill to establish … Continue reading Another doctor speaks out
