Gavin Forkan questioned about REI's proposed 14 turbine development at Lisnaharney Road, even though his documentation showed 16 and he acknowledges that they are already in negotiations for phase 2 and confirms the names of landowners involved.  Worth a watch.

Thank you, to a concerned resident for the footage.

A group of families in a north Cork village are suing a wind farm operator in a landmark case, claiming the huge turbines are adversely affecting their health.

The seven families from Banteer claim they have been severely impacted, particularly through noise pollution, since the turbines began operating in Nov 2011. 

If the action is successful, it is expected to lead to a number of others on similar grounds. Already, cases are being prepared by householders in Wexford and Roscommon.

Like many others, do you have concerns about the negative impact of windfarms in your area, in particular if you are from the Magherafelt area, you need to attend:

Some solid objective objections all on one page. Very useful information.

The Mynydd Llansadwrn Action Group  have put forward evidence showing that wind power is an unreliable and intermittent source of energy that cannot provide firm predictable generating capacity; it is extremely expensive compared to almost every other energy source, and, it has limited value in reducing carbon dioxide emissions because of the need for spinning reserve backup from fossil-fuelled power plants. Wind farms are deeply unpopular with a growing number of people who object to the visual intrusion, the noise and light pollution and the damage to the environment and wildlife. We are paying a high cost—socially, environmentally and economically—for poor results.
