To all those who oppose Wind farms
I know the social amenity effects of these monstrosities are uppermost in
people's minds, if you live close to one I am not surprised, but I must
say this. As you know they claim that increased emissions of carbon
dioxide from burning fossil fuels are causing global warming, leading to
climate change. The doomsters say this will alter life on earth
irreversibly, to the point of extinction. Their answer is wind farms at
enormous cost, leaving future generations with crippling repayments.
If all this were true then we could be faced with the choice of
annihilation or poverty. Given the instinctive will to survive our choice
seems obvious, so wind farm proponents will say that your view across a
beautiful landscape is unimportant, that your sleep deprivation has to be
accepted and that.........
However, this is deception. The truth is, that due to the intermittent
nature of the wind, these windmills, or turbines, just do not provide the
power we need and consume. To me, that is the crucial issue, in practical
terms they do not work.
Hence my contribution to the pamphlet was to provide the technical details
which outline the nonsense of wind farms. It is all a matter of Physics
and Chemistry, my teaching subjects for 39 years. I am very comfortable
with the provenance of these details; indeed, I know one of the
Loughborough University researchers personally. The figures speak for
themselves and I would urge you to use them because they are objective, as
opposed to the social amenity arguments which, forgive me, are subjective
and give the global warmers opportunities to tie this up in endless
debate.
Please contact me for a free copy of the wind turbine DVD released by
Godfrey Bloom, MEP, and myself on October 5th, although I know that many
of you will have seen this online already. Also available is our
co-authored supporting pamphlet, which may be new to you.
I am; of course, ready to come to protest meetings in your support.
Yours sincerely,
Derek Clark MEP
