Wind Industry’s Bogus CO2 Abatement Claims Smashed Again
**** Let’s assume (as STT does, for the sake of argument) that the global warming/climate change Chicken Littles are right: the sky really is falling, and it’s all CO2’s fault.

Turkish Court Shuts Down 50 Turbines: Yaylaköy Residents Delighted at 1st Chance to Sleep in Years
**** One of the myths pedalled by Australia’s self-appointed wind farm noise, sleep and health 'expert' (a former tobacco advertising guru) is that the known and obvious adverse health impacts from incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound are a cooked-up “phenomenon”, exclusive to the English speaking world.

UK’s Wind Industry in Meltdown: Cameron to Flush-Out DECC’s Detritus
**** The wind industry's current form reminds STT of Simon Pegg's character in 'How to Lose Friends and Alienate People', Sidney Young - blunt, gormless, and ready to pull out all stops to ensure every one who counts hates him.
