Gone with the Wind ...

... not quiet. But the wind is veering. 

More and more people

are becoming fed up and furious, and are now demanding an end to “pointless, subsidised wind power”.

 [...]

The reasons for the exploding resistance [against wind parks] are many and include destruction of forests, death to wildlife, blighting of the landscape, infrasound causing illnesses, high costs, technical inadequacy and grid instability, to name some. Probably no other product on the planet delivers so much misery for so little common benefit.

Wind energy opposition site “StopTheseThings” writes a couple of reports coming from Europe, which tell us of growing opposition to and serious health problems from wind energy. We are now witnessing how a rogue industry is well past its heyday.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that wind energy has gone from being welcome with open arms, to being furiously opposed. [The] only things keeping it afloat is special interest, junk science and corruption.

Under the auspices of fake emergency conditions (supposedly "deadly" global warming), green technologies have been forced upon us brutally and undemocratically, and thus the wind

industry had been used to getting its way by bulldozing over and marginalizing opposition and corrupting officials. 

But that strategy seems to be backfiring now, as StopTheseThings writes that “communities are as angry, if not angrier, than ever about the manner in which wind power outfits have ridden roughshod over their basic human rights – such as the right to sleep, live in and otherwise enjoy their family homes, free from incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound – aided and abetted by a political ‘system’ that can be described as ‘crony capitalism’… ”

Recently there was a “monster Dublin protest” where “the leaders of community defence groups from all over Ireland descended on the Dáil Éireann to drive home their message – that wind power is a failed experiment and that these things do not work on any level: social, economic or environmental“.
