“Neither we nor our homes are threatened by wind turbines. We do not live in proximity to industrial wind power generation plants. We are independent but compassionate observers who have undertaken our own investigation. We think this issue is one of fairness and human rights.”
Numerous grass-root websites have sprung up in the last decade to challenge the government-driven industry of industrial wind turbines. In Australia, Stop These Things is a leader.

James Hansen’s climate alarm back in 1988 attracted mainstream scientific caution and dissent, believe it or not.…
“Voters and citizens all must tell Tom Steyer, the moneyed Left Foundations, taxpayer-inebriated scientists, green-energy cronies, Left politicians, and Crony Republicans that human-need philanthropy should replace the politics of pessimism and waste. It is time to end the futile climate crusade.”

The free-market energy space these days is very crowded, quite unlike the old days when just a few of us were battling Big Government, Big Environmentalism, and Big Cronyism (think Enron). As one of the veterans, my blogs and op-eds now compete against a number of new voices, beginning with Alex Epstein and continuing with “America’s Voice for Energy” Marita Noon, and others.
