Over the last decade, the wind industry has ridden roughshod over the rights of law-abiding citizens to live peacefully in their very own homes. The battle that's followed proves that the value of any right is determined by the beneficiaries’ determination to fight for it. Giant industrial wind turbines deliver a cacophony of pulsing, practically … Continue reading Ontario Fights Back: Farmers Hammered by Wind Turbine Noise Prosecute Environment Minister

Wind Turbines: Safe, Clean & Green? Yeah, Right …
The spontaneous combustion of 300 tonne wind turbines, showering the earth with a toxic cocktail of molten-fibreglass and flaming lubricants is one of those tricky PR problems for big wind. On every occasion that one of these whirling wonders burst into flames, locals are told them it’s a rare and unusual event, never likely to … Continue reading Wind Turbines: Safe, Clean & Green? Yeah, Right …
Death’s Icy Grip: Climate Change Won’t Kill Granny, But Climate Change Policies Do
Children as young as five are now taught to fear global warming in the way their mean uncles once terrified them with tales of ghosts and bogeymen, in days gone past. Hysterical and overblown claims that runaway climate change is about to kill your granny are only half wrong: what’s likely to do the old … Continue reading Death’s Icy Grip: Climate Change Won’t Kill Granny, But Climate Change Policies Do
Black Plague: Wind Turbine Construction Turning Ontario’s Water Supply to Toxic Sludge
It’s not just that the wind industry is destroying Ontario’s water supplies that peeves people, it’s that they continue to lie about it. Those searching for a universally hospitable and polite group of people, need look no further than Canadians, and the industrious rural folk of Ontario, are no exception. These are the farming communities … Continue reading Black Plague: Wind Turbine Construction Turning Ontario’s Water Supply to Toxic Sludge
Ontario’s Water Wars: Wind Turbine Construction Turns Underground Water to Toxic Sludge
Ontario’s farmers keep complaining about the toxic sludge coming out of their wells, while the wind power outfits that have obviously caused the damage, keep lying about it. Pile-driving and the excavations required for 400m³ of steel reinforced concrete for the hundreds of turbine bases across Chatham-Kent are the only new and intervening factor capable … Continue reading Ontario’s Water Wars: Wind Turbine Construction Turns Underground Water to Toxic Sludge
Battlelines Drawn: Victoria’s Wind Power Push Meets Angry & Disciplined Opposition
It’s often forgotten that the diminutive David slew the gigantic Goliath. Discipline, nerve and strategic resolve is what wins battles. And in Western Victoria, there’s no bigger battle than that brewing between wind power outfits and local community defenders. One of the best of those is retired country lawyer, Tony Edney. He’s the handsome devil … Continue reading Battlelines Drawn: Victoria’s Wind Power Push Meets Angry & Disciplined Opposition
Fact Factory: Smashing Big Wind Starts & Ends With Data & Detail
What the wind industry hates most are facts; facts about rocketing power prices, massive subsidies, chaotic intermittency, incessant noise and consequent harm to neighbour's health, the destruction of birds and bats, the destruction of underground water supplies, turbines spontaneously combusting, disintegrating or throwing their blades to the four winds. We could go on. On this … Continue reading Fact Factory: Smashing Big Wind Starts & Ends With Data & Detail
German Researchers Target Effects of Wind Turbine Infrasound on the Heart
The evidence proving the unnecessary damage done to wind farm neighbours by the noise generated by giant industrial wind turbines is mounting by the day: Germany’s Max Planck Institute has identified sub-audible infrasound as the cause of stress, sleep disruption and more (see our post here); and a Swedish group have shown that it’s the pulsing … Continue reading German Researchers Target Effects of Wind Turbine Infrasound on the Heart
Water Wars: Wind Turbine Construction Destroying Underground Water Supplies in Ontario
Pundits have predicted that the next major war will be sparked over water. In Ontario just such a battle is (pardon the pun) well underway. A couple of weeks back STT reported on the destruction of underground water supplies in Chatham-Kent: Ontario: Water, Water Everywhere – But Thanks to Wind Turbines – Not A Drop … Continue reading Water Wars: Wind Turbine Construction Destroying Underground Water Supplies in Ontario
Ontario: Water, Water Everywhere – But Thanks to Wind Turbines – Not A Drop to Drink
Wind farm neighbours are forced to endure all manner of wholly unnecessary suffering. Incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound drives them nuts at nighttime or, in plenty of cases, out of their homes, altogether. In Ontario, around the shores of the Great Lakes, the latest outrage involves wind power outfits destroying local underground … Continue reading Ontario: Water, Water Everywhere – But Thanks to Wind Turbines – Not A Drop to Drink
