Orwellian Eco-Fascist Ideology Ramming Wind Turbines Into Everyone Else’s Backyards

German Government Hunts Down Wind Industry Criminals & Corruption
**** What amuses STT is not that the wind attracts career criminals, but that they have the sanctimonious audacity to preach to the rest of us about their nobler-than-noble 'trade', while lying, cheating and bullying their way to profit from massive and (seemingly) endless subsidies chiselled out of us.
