Opposition to windfarms not yet blown over?

Windfarm developments are a controversial subject. We are all in favour of renewable energy sources but land based wind turbine farms appear to have generated more political heat than actual useful energy. The statement below comes from Professor Myron Evans an unimpeachable scientist of the highest calibre so perhaps county councils should pause to consider some of the scientific evidence before embarking on or extending windfarm developments.

“I am strongly opposed to wind turbines on scientific grounds (see numerous statements on www.aias.us and also on www.socme.org). My opinion is shared by the entire community of responsible and impartial scientists (for example the Darmstadt Accord on www.socme.org) of over one hundred senior scientists from several disciplines.The attached reports ( The wind monster , The case against windfarms ) by Dr. Etherington plainly show that wind turbines are a grotesque folly, driven onward by greed crazed profiteers and absentee landowners alike. In this area there are at least nineteen groups opposed to further wind turbine development on Mynydd y Gwair. These include the City and County Councils of Swansea, Neath Port Talbot Council, Ammanford Town Council, numerous Community Councils, numerous environment and preservation groups, and part of the Assembly Government ITSELF: CADW.

It is true that Professor Evans was once a respected chemist. However, he is now seen by the majority of other scientists as being a misguided amateur physicist. The layman will not be able to follow the academic arguments. However, the fact that Professor Evans is also giving his wholehearted backing to perpetual-motion and anti-gravity machines should give the intelligent layman pause for thought.
