**** In Australia, at the very beginning of our great-fan-fiasco, the wind industry threw a mountain of cash at their tame acoustic consultants to have them write the ludicrously lax noise "standards" that are meant to be "applied" to wind farms (see our post here).

Wind Power: Buying a Dog, but getting Sold a Pup
How many times have we believed the salesman’s pitch - got home and unwrapped our purchase - only to be disappointed when we discover that we’d spent our hard earned cash on a complete lemon?

Wind Power Myths BUSTED

Australian Wind Industry’s House of Cards Collapsing
**** With Australia’s wind industry in its death throes, STT has already given fair warning to bankers, investors and shareholders with so much as a cent in wind power companies to grab their cash and get out as fast they can (see our post here).

4 killed as Plane slams into Wind Turbines in South Dakota
**** There are at least 2 critical dangers for flyers created by these things: 1) air turbulence - generated by a sea of 50-60m blades with their outer tips travelling at around 400km/h – interfering with the ability of the pilot to control their kite (see our post here); and 2) slamming into them - … Continue reading 4 killed as Plane slams into Wind Turbines in South Dakota
Slash Wind Power Subsidies & Bring Power Prices Back to Earth
With Australia’s wind industry gasping its last breath, their hired spruikers at the Clean Energy Council have taken to peddling the incredible tale that wind power has led to a REDUCTION in our power bills.
