In rural Germany, a rural revolt against wind power was inevitable. Close to 30,000 of these things have been speared across Deutschland, often within a stone’s throw of homes, towns and villages. Driven mad by practically incessant low-frequency noise and infrasound, watching whole forests clear-felled to make way for 300 tonne, 200m high turbines … Continue reading Germany Wind Industry Expansion Thwarted: Rural Revolt Preventing Construction of New Wind Power Projects

Supreme Ignorance: Bernie Sanders Mocks Wind Turbine Noise Victims’ Daily Suffering
Trying to explain life with wind turbine noise to the uninitiated is like trying to explain a migraine to someone that’s never had a headache.

Crookwell Cooked: NSW Planning Dept Slams Chinese Backed Wind Farm Project
The Gullen Range wind farm was a disaster from the get go (see our post here) – with hundreds of homes turned into sonic torture traps (see our post here). There are 32 non-involved residences within 1.5 km of turbines; about 60 within 2 km; and 118 within 3 km. Within 5 km there are … Continue reading Crookwell Cooked: NSW Planning Dept Slams Chinese Backed Wind Farm Project
The Sound of Silence: Iowa Farmers Cherish Peace & Quiet After Judge Shuts Down Wind Turbines
Anyone claiming that wind turbines are quiet has never lived with them in their backyards. A grinding, thumping cacophony of amplitude modulated low-frequency noise and infrasound is a daily misery for far too many rural residents. Back in December last year, we reported on a group of Iowa farmers who took on a developer and … Continue reading The Sound of Silence: Iowa Farmers Cherish Peace & Quiet After Judge Shuts Down Wind Turbines
Renewables Rejected: Community Backlash Forces Californian Counties to Ban Giant Wind & Solar Projects
Community hostility to industrial wind power is inevitable, when the community in question is the one that ends up with 300 tonne monsters speared in its backyard. The characters that never leave the inner-city latte zone are more than happy to destroy your rural landscape, your peaceful rural way of life and the value … Continue reading Renewables Rejected: Community Backlash Forces Californian Counties to Ban Giant Wind & Solar Projects
Minnesota Meltdown: Farmers Declare Wind Farms a ‘No-Win’ for Rural America
Given the choice, no sentient being would ever tolerate an industrial wind turbine anywhere near their home or property.

In this piece from Minnesota’s The Globe, locals lament the day the wind industry rolled into … Continue reading Minnesota Meltdown: Farmers Declare Wind Farms a ‘No-Win’ for Rural America
Bound & Gagged: Wind Industry Shuts Down Community Complaints Using Punitive Gag Clauses
The wind industry is a law unto itself, merrily crushing community opposition with the help of pliant and gullible politicians. And, where corruption reaches its natural limit, cash takes over. Mind you, spending other people’s money is always a treat. Leases with farmers who ‘host’ the turbines and so-called “good neighbour” agreements with their neighbours … Continue reading Bound & Gagged: Wind Industry Shuts Down Community Complaints Using Punitive Gag Clauses

Overrun by 30,000 wind turbines, rural Germans are on the brink of revolt, with over 1,000 groups determined to win back their heartland. Dwarfed by 200m, 300 tonne behemoths, driven mad by practically incessant low-frequency noise and infrasound, or driven from their homes, tens of thousands of Germans have had enough. One of the … Continue reading People Power: German Professors Lead 1,000 Anti-Wind Industry Groups in Assault on Toxic Wind Power
Knuckle-Heads: Wind Industry Thugs Beat Up Welsh Grannies During Community Protest
There are few universal truths: community hostility to giant wind turbines is one, the thuggery employed by wind power outfits, is another. Wherever in the world the wind industry plies it subsidy-soaked trade, rural folk are treated as ‘roadkill’: lied to, bullied and beaten. As in the case of Jim Field, a 79-year-old disabled farmer … Continue reading Knuckle-Heads: Wind Industry Thugs Beat Up Welsh Grannies During Community Protest
Wealth Destroyers: Wind Turbines Crush Rural Property Values & Leave Many Homes Worthless
In Australia, hundreds of law-abiding rural citizens have had their valuable property rights permanently destroyed by wind power outfits – with knowing assistance from all levels of government. Property values for those unfortunate enough to be situated anywhere near these things, are a mere fraction of what they would otherwise be; and even the mere … Continue reading Wealth Destroyers: Wind Turbines Crush Rural Property Values & Leave Many Homes Worthless
