On the Centenary of the 1916 Easter Uprising - its causes and consequences - soon became the hot topic in Ireland: for the Irish, deliberating and celebrating its underdog status (whether at arms, through its history, or trade) is almost a National pastime.

Australian Senators Demand Wind Farm Moratorium: NHMRC (finally) Decides to Conduct Actual Health Research
Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council long ago disqualified itself as a body fit, willing, or even able to investigate and report on the known and obvious consequences to human health and well-being caused by incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound.

The Wind Might be ‘Free’, but Utterly Pointless Wind Power Costs a King’s Ransom

German Doctors Spell Out the Serious Harm Caused by Wind Turbine Infrasound
**** The wind industry has known about, attempted to cover up and lied about the adverse health effects caused by incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound for over 30 years; and knowing full-well that the dB(A) weighting is irrelevant to measuring the low-frequency noise spectrum, wrote their own ‘rules’ that even make the risible … Continue reading German Doctors Spell Out the Serious Harm Caused by Wind Turbine Infrasound
