These pointless monstrosities will continue to proliferate until the Government sees sense.
Three separate news items on the same day last week reflected three different aspects of what is fast becoming a full-scale disaster bearing down on Britain. The first item was a picture in The Daily Telegraph showing two little children forlornly holding a banner reading “E.On Hands Off Winwick”.
This concerned a battle to prevent a tiny Northamptonshire village from being dwarfed by seven 410-foot wind turbines, each higher than Salisbury Cathedral, to be built nearby by a giant German-owned electricity firm. The 40 residents, it was reported, have raised £50,0000 from their savings to pay lawyers to argue their case when their village’s fate is decided at an inquiry by a Government inspector.

Alas, despite all the practical evidence to show why wind power is one of the greatest follies of our age, those who rule our lives, from our own politicians and officials here in Britain to those above them in Brussels, seem quite impervious to the facts.

Wind turbines are the main physical cause of fatal headaches, early onset of menopause, brain damage, cancer, horror visually forced into victims, and the murders of millions of birds and bats every minute.

Even more frustrating is 18 years ago all federal and state lands have been off limits for logging to maybe save a spotted owl or two! 20% unemployment and our county is on the federal dole to the tune of $50 Million a year to support our county government all to stop logging and save the spotted owl!!!!
The raptors are being killed by them.

Not when they stop turning.............Which they seem to do at an ever increasing rate.

Oh, for the love of all that’s good! Why must that atrocity sully the pages of Free Republic for ever now? Was there a particular reason to show us that monstrosity that cannot be unseen?
Thanks for posting this little bit of reality for those who call themselves conservatives and bow down to the Solar/Wind/Mythanol gods.
One of our younger relatives is an excellent engineer and duck/goose hunter.
Decades ago, he pointed what has become a hidden reality to protect the wonderful green wind pushng scam artists.
In N California the first wind mills and recently the second/third innovation wind mills were put into passes that waterfowl and other birds use to migrate and travel from water to water and to feeding grounds.
So these ducks/geese and othe waterfowl flew into the windmills that had been placed in their flight paths for eons.
The wind mills slaughtered/slaughters them on a huge scale.
Then in the early morning, the raptors, hawks, Perigines, Eagles and other protected species come to feed on the dead and dying waterfowl. If the wind is still blowing, they get sliced and diced by the huge propellors.
Coyotes, foxes, racoons and other predators have taken up residence in the killing fields below the wind mills.
In the past few years during the economic melt down, humans are out there trying to snag/gather the dead/dying ducks/geese for food. It won’t be long before packs of well fed coyotes start going after those who are stealing their food.
Owls get slaughtered, when they fly into the propellors on windy nights. Our younger relative has wondered how many were so called endangered spotted owls die each night/week/month/year and never are reported to Fish and Game and the Fed Wildlife sham agencies.
