Up on Fullabrook Down last Sunday

I went up on to the Fullabrook Down Wind farm site on Sunday. it wasn't a great day for taking photographs, cloudy with poor visibility much of the time, but I took some video clips as well, which will be uploaded later.
This photograph was taken between the positions of turbine s 6 and 10 on this map:

If you click on the button between turbines 9 and 12 you can see a painting I did of a sheep and her lambs, on the hill as it was before the diggers moved in. (Apologies for the fact that one or two of the links no longer work, it needs updating)

Good to see this article by Andrea Leadsom MP on the ConservativeHome blog's Comment page:

Great news from Ontario...

http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Canada/20110213/wind-farm-moratorium-110213/

"John Laforet, president of Wind Concerns Ontario, discusses Ontario's moratorium on off-shore wind farms on Feb. 13, 2011."

How good it was to hear the CTV Presenter explaining that when wind turbines were described as "too Green" this did not mean "too Green" in the environmental sense. John Laforet gives a most excellent interview.

Paying twice

The Tax Payers' Alliance have raised a very important issue about EU funding for "Green" groups. Nearly all these groups support plans to cover our countryside with giant industrial (or should we say White Elephant?) wind turbines.

Here is a video the TPA has made about the subject:

How useless is the giant Reading turbine?

"Killing Chinese people"

We were sent a link to this blog by a supporter in Yorkshire...

The text in green below is a quote:

"The Great Green Hope, power from garden ornaments, turns out to be more polluting than those coal fired power stations they keep trying to sabotage. Of course, that's okay because they aren't polluting here."

This links to a Daily Mail article as well, about the mining of rare earths in China - we linked to it ourselves previously.

We would like to add a reminder too of the fact that in China some years ago, when some villagers protested against a wind power station, the police opened fire on them and several protesters were killed. Had they been protesting against a nuclear or coal powered power station, there would have been a world-wide uproar, of course.
