The people of Waubra say the massive implementation
of huge turbines has made them ill.
If there is transparency about information and installation,
why does Acciona institute confidentiality clauses
in contracts with disaffected people.
Risk management of course -
Acciona safeguarding any risk to it.

its transactions and information,
it surely behoves other communities to be circumspect
in their dealings with the corporation.

Without reading the books I'm not sure what is at stake here.
ReplyDeleteSteve, I am uncertain - but community voices are raising queries and claiming other wind farm communities, including internationally, are experiencing similar problems.

One thing is clear: if there are real difficulties connected with wind farms, this subject will not be the first to suffer from the law of "unintended consequences". So many things, projects etc that we of the human species embark upon seem to finish up, sooner or later, with consequences which we did not foresee or which we thought were minimal.
You never know. In Sth Africa you might come across some information on wind farms that you could share with us in Oz.
