Heliogenic Climate Change: A depressing prospect
...These unnecessary and destructive actions can be undone in years to come when reality intrudes and it becomes obvious that the AGW scam is the biggest hoax in scientific history, but untold damage will be done in the meantime. Ecotheists have been trying to bring down the American economy and return us to the Stone Age for decades. They may have succeeded. And that's the memo.
Wind Watch: Wind turbine's deadly ice shower
Residents were left fearing for their safety after shards of melting ice fell on homes and gardens from the blades of a giant wind turbine.
For about four hours people in King’s Dyke, Whittlesey, had to take cover as huge lumps – some two feet long – showered them from the 80 metre high tower on Saturday morning.

Resident Peter Randall, whose son’s house lies a stone’s throw away from the turbine, said: “Somebody is going to get killed. There was huge lumps of ice shooting off and landing everywhere.

“No one wants to leave the house because they are frightened and worried about the ice falling."
Wind Watch: ‘Monstrous’ 410ft turbines will be a blot on rural landscape
It is a slice of olde England. A cluster of Quaker hamlets in a picture-postcard setting, with no supermarkets, no pubs, just breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Malvern Hills.

Now the tranquility of this rural idyll, virtually unchanged for generations, is threatened by plans to build a huge wind farm, with 10 turbines each standing 410ft high, and blades stretching 295ft across.

Villagers say ScottishPower’s ambitions would blight the Worcestershire landscape, dominate the skyline, force down property prices and destroy the peace of the historic Evesham Vale.

Campaigner Stuart Green said: “That is almost as tall as the London Eye and is the width, wing to wing, of a jumbo jet.

Who is going to want to buy a house that is just 550ft from a massive wind turbine?
