What Can You Do?

We need to take action IMMEDIATELY to halt this project. The people of Champaign County are just now becoming aware of Everpower's proposal to change ALL of our lives forever. Let your friends and family know that this is happening without your consent. A project of this size, sited this close to people, is unprecedented. Are you prepared for you and your family to be an experiment? Especially without any meaningful due process, as is the right of every citizen? There are approximately 60 leaseholders (no one can be sure as the wind companies refuse to release the information). There are approximately 38,900 non-leaseholders in the county. Why are a few dozen people dictating the future of all of us without more debate? The only people benefiting from this scheme are a few leaseholders and a multi-national corporation, who has no plans to engage in any profit-sharing from the sale of Champaign County's wind. They specialize in pitting neighbor against neighbor and mak...

Living Near Wind Turbines Causes Adverse Health Effects

Source: http://www.theobserver.ca/2014/01/16/review-of-scientific-literature-found-adverse-health-effects ENERGY: - A Lambton citizens group is hopeful that recent scientific literature that documents health impacts from wind turbines will provide ammunition in its battle against a planned wind farm. The review of existing research literature was published in the winter edition of the Canadian Journal of Rural Medicine and concludes turbines placed too close to homes "can negatively affect the physical, mental and social well-being of people." The group We're Against Industrial Turbines Plympton-Wyoming (WAIT-PW) is now touting the results in its efforts to lobby against Suncor Energy's plan to build up to 46 industrial wind turbines in rural Lambton County. The review also states there is sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that noise from industrial wind turbines "is a potential cause of health effects." Ontario requires wi...

Abandoned Wind Turbines Worries Officials

Abandoned wind turbines worry officials by Associated Press KTVB.COM Posted on October 23, 2010 at 4:44 PM Updated yesterday at 11:32 AM BURLEY, Idaho -- Cassia County officials in southern Idaho are considering an ordinance that would require wind turbines to be decommissioned by their owners and not the county should the turbines stop turning a profit. The Times-News reports that County Commissioner Paul Christensen has asked planning and zoning to start drafting an ordinance to handle such problems in the future. Planning and Zoning administrator Kerry McMurray says dismantling one of the turbines would be expensive. The turbines can be up to 328 feet tall with 100-foot-long blades and profitable life spans of up to 20 years. McMurray says if the towers were abandoned due to bankruptcy, removing them would be the responsibility of the property owners. McMurray says most landowners probably couldn't afford that. source: www.ktvb.com
