Warning

The Register button on the NOW website appears to be faulty (or has it been hacked into?)
The figures appear to be meaningless, jumping from the thousand millions to large negative numbers in what appears to be a random fashion.

Let us hope this will be sorted out soon. It is unfortunate for all the many supporters who had registered already.

The Guardian is also displaying private emails from members of an anti-wind farm group. How did they obtain these emails?

Let none of this distract from the importance of the work that is being done in Parliament on our behalf by the NOW campaign. The wind power industry is immensely powerful: we all know that. But might isn't always right.

Here's a poster in a window



















Let's see many more!

NOW

A new national Organisation/Charter called NOW is being is launched today:

Then print off a poster and stick it in your window.

"From the Hill,"
A Lament for the Sussex Coastal View

Thanks to Greg for sending us this link to his beautiful but sad song.
He wrote to us
Just when the South Downs have been made a National Park to protect the landscape, this enterprise arrives to expand man's touch on into the unspoiled seascape.

The worst news for a long time.


















Windfarm Vision 1, by Paul Bloomer

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-1760971.

One hundred and three giant turbines, in the middle of the Shetland Islands. It is vandalism on a giant scale.

Here is a reminder of what artist Paul Bloomer had to say (on our website) about this appalling proposal:

Louise Mensch

Louise Mensch is a Conservative MP
She wrote this impassioned piece in the Daliy Telegraph:

She is one of the many Conservative MPs who have spoken out against wind farms: what is the matter with their leader?

Our list of MPs who have spoken out is on this page:

It includes a link to those like Louise Mensch who signed the letter to David Cameron, plus the names of other MPS - from all parties - who have spoken out on this issue.

Another North Devon wind turbine



















On a trip to Morte Point on Saturday what did we see but this - the largish wind turbine at Mullacott Cross.
