Don’t Say “We Didn’t Warn You”

**** “Risible”: provoking laughter through being ludicrous.  That’s a pretty fair summation of Australia’s so-called “wind industry" in the week just gone. It would be, except, wind power was pitched as a reliable replacement for on-demand power generation sources (like coal, hydro and gas) and a cost-effective means of reducing CO2 emissions.  Our political betters … Continue reading Don’t Say “We Didn’t Warn You”

The wind war: men in suits against women on farms and …

This is disturbing footage. Compare Denis Napthine, smiling and in his suit, repeating the fraudulent jobs mantra, with Anne Gardner talking about the affects of Macarthur wind farm on her family and her community.
