UK Was Able to See the Wind Scam…

Why not Ontario??? The Spectator reported in March this year that the UK Gov’t had finally awakened to the wind energy SCAM: “To the nearest whole number, the percentage of the world’s energy that comes from wind turbines today is: zero.”

AND: “…so how did the wind-farm scam fool so many policymakers?
One answer is money. There were too many people with snouts in the trough. Not just the manufacturers, operators and landlords of the wind farms, but financiers: wind-farm venture capital trusts were all the rage a few years ago — guaranteed income streams are what capitalists like best; they even get paid to switch the monsters off on very windy days so as not to overload the grid. Even the military took the money.”

550 Meter Setbacks Are Insane!

So says Alec N. Salt, PhD., researcher at Washington School of Medicine, Dept. of Otolarynglogy here.

Quote:
“Engineers have known for years that low frequency sound disturbs people intensely. In a presentation given on Sept 9 in Birmingham, UK, Malcolm Swinbanks, an engineer with years of experience in infrasound issues presented data from his own work with gas turbine sounds in the 1980′s, as well as NASA research showing that low frequency sounds disturbed people. He estimated that modern wind turbines are likely to influence about 10% of young adults.
This was all known 20 years ago !!!
So putting up wind turbines, which are known to generate infrasound, near peoples[sic] houses and to expect to NOT cause problems in my view is the height of insanity. It is just generating more and more people with problems.”

Only in Ontario, where insanity runs Green Energy, at 550 meters per hour!

Ontario a Bad Example for San Diego

Wiley Quixote reports San Diego Planning Commission voted unanimously to evaluate health effects of IWT’s on people AND wildlife. Figuring prominently in presentations to the Commission are Barb Ashbee and Ontario Wind Resistance. Click the link to read on and to go to the original article in East County Magazine.

Here’s a noteworthy snippet:
“Commissioner Bryan Woods asked, ‘Are we going to look into medical issues and even though it opens a Pandora’s box, should we?’ He added, ‘You’d hate to craft this thing and then have people get sick…. If you ignore it, you are negligent and I don’t want to be negligent.’”

LIES my Developer Told Me…

The Wind Energy Developers stick to a well-trodden path of truths, half-truths and lies when making their case for IWT’s to the Public.

The most common of these are:
- technical facts on height and power output (truths);
- shaded technical facts about capacity, total output (half-truths: ref., Limits)
- and misrepresentations of fact (lies), such as health effects, safe setbacks, other jurisdictions, IWT safety, etc.

Plympton-Wyoming: Return Local Control

A wily Quiixote reports, Residents start the big fight against SUNCOR’s big IWT project by calling for the RESTORATION of local control and local democracy.

Read the report from Todays Farmer: “A crowd of about 600 packed the Camlachie Community Hall April 19 for a town hall meeting hosted by a newly formed citizen’s group known as W.A.I.T (We’re Against Industrial Turbines).”

Another Way to Regulate IWT’s: as Dangerous Places

Saugeen Shores Deputy Mayor proposes another tactic for fighting IWT’s: regulate on the basis of sec. 123 of the Municipal Act, “…a local municipality may, for the purpose of public safety, regulate with respect to cliffs, pits, deep waters and other dangerous places. 2001, c. 25, s. 123; 2006, c. 32, Sched. A, s. 64.”

The proposed by-law can be read in its entirety at the Link above.

Wainfleet needs another by-law, as well as one to regulate dismantling of IWT’s.
