Please read the above linked reports in the Telegraph, and share with those who might be interested.

A small selection of the speakers from both the guests and the floor at the recent Windwatch Symposium.

We have decided to put together a page especially with resources to share with others so that you can study and use what information you find useful to your own particular needs.
There are many reports and findings covering a variety of Wind Turbine issues.
We will add to this page as we get more content, if you have any information or links that you can share please use the contact page on our site.

Current renewable energy policies are no more than an unnecessarily costly means of achieving given emissions reductions. 
The idea, now embraced by our Government, that officially-created higher energy costs open up exciting new prospects for growth and jobs, is an illusion which this paper dispels effectively.

Thanks to a local supporter for the attached report into the Performance (or lack off Performance) of Wind Farms in the United Kingdom and Denmark.
Very interesting reading!

"These findings have important implications for policy towards wind generation in the UK. First,
they suggest that the subsidy regime is extremely generous if investment in new wind farms is profitable despite the decline in performance due to age and over time. Second, meeting
the UK Government’s targets for wind generation will require a much higher level of wind capacity – and, thus, capital investment – than current projections imply. Third, the structure
of contracts offered to wind generators under the proposed reform of the electricity market should be modified since few wind farms will operate for more than 12–15 years."

This scientific study, will give you a clearer insight into the torture of living too close to turbines, I urge you to visit the site and read for yourself.

In particular for other campaigning groups- there is very valuable scientific data!

According to the European Platform Against Wind Farms (EPAW), which represents over 500 associations from 23 countries, the National Renewable Energy Action Plans adopted by EU States in June 2010 have failed to answer two essential questions: how much will be saved in greenhouse gas emissions by the EU target of 20% renewable energy by 2020, and how much will it cost Society to implement this policy. The Platform argues that it is a violation of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe's Aarhus Convention on Human and Environmental Rights, which is a mandatory part of EU law.

From a political point of view, remarks EPAW, it is nothing short of irresponsible that billions upon billions of euros of public money would be spent on “green investments” without first conducting feasibility studies showing the expected results in terms of CO2 saved.

We wanted to thank everyone for turning out in such high numbers yesterday, we also wanted to thank all the guest talkers for giving their time to help in answering any questions or queries. To the facilitators and to the Village Inn for hosting us.
Looking now to stepping things up a gear moving forward, some great suggestions in regard to where do we go from here.  We will contact everyone interested in due course, the important thing is to remain focused and to keep the momentum.
We are on a high with the level of support given and to see our public representatives and press out in such high numbers, hope that they can carry on our message to their co workers and perhaps we can start to uncover the truth behind the blight that we are all supposed to suffer with.
Thank you again to everyone.  Photos to follow soon.
