**** Remember all the guff about everyone just “loving” wind farms: you know, the spin trotted out by wind industry spruikers - like the Clean Energy Council - in Mickey Mouse “surveys” that claim 150% of your compatriots just can’t wait to spear thousands of giant fans into YOUR slice of heaven (not theirs, of … Continue reading Wind Industry Keeps Losing ‘Hearts and Minds’: Community Opposition Rolls & Builds

Wind Farms: As “Safe as Houses”
**** STT has worked pretty solidly to cover the increasing numbers of turbine blades that routinely unshackle themselves in bids for airborne freedom, troublesome events, which the wind industry euphemistically calls “component liberation” (see our posts here and here and here and here).

More Wind Turbine Terror: Blades Thrown to the Four-Winds in Ireland

“Unscheduled” Wind Farm Shut-Down Shows Low-Frequency Noise Impact at Waterloo, SA
**** One of the major obstacles faced by acoustic experts when trying to do meaningful wind turbine 'noise' testing is the dogged refusal of wind farm operators to provide wind speed and operational data. Moreover, wind power outfits have resisted, with granite-like tenacity, quite reasonable calls by noise experts to shut down their turbines (ie … Continue reading “Unscheduled” Wind Farm Shut-Down Shows Low-Frequency Noise Impact at Waterloo, SA

If we were a tad cynical, … Continue reading Tumbling Turbine Terror Continues: Another One Bites the Dust – this time it’s Ireland’s Turn
‘Green’ Backed Bat Slaughter Hits Alberta: Wind Turbines Turning Bats’ Lungs to Mush
Wind farms are certified bird and bat slaughterhouses, where millions are clobbered, sliced and diced every year (see our post here): wanton avian destruction which is entirely unnecessary and wholly unjustified. A little while back, we looked at wind industry claims that levelled the blame for the mounting piles of bat carcasses left rotting around … Continue reading ‘Green’ Backed Bat Slaughter Hits Alberta: Wind Turbines Turning Bats’ Lungs to Mush
