Wind Industry Blights The Countryside, Makes People Sick

ScreenHunter_76 Jun. 11 23.21

The Coalition will impose new noise monitoring rules on windfarms that the multibillion dollar industry says will inflict crippling costs, provide no useful information and represent another victory for an anti-noise campaign by concerned citizens backed in part by the climate sceptic lobby.

The yet-to-be-released resources policy is set to require all windfarms to provide “real-time” noise monitoring, with the findings immediately publicly available, so nearby residents concerned about the alleged health impact of windfarms can compare the results with strict state government noise controls. The Coalition resources spokesman, Ian Macfarlane, will also try to introduce the measures before the election with a private members bill.

People living close to windfarms have reported symptoms including headaches, sleeplessness and nausea.

    This is about Australia not the UK.

    Fortunately the LNP Coalition here in Oz have their heads screwed on right. Not so in the UK where Cameron is daft and the LDP dafter.

    And Lenore is our leftiest mainstream lady journo, recently recruited from the lefty Sydney Morning Herald for the even leftier Guardian Australia. After all one can never be too lefty.
