Following is the second part of a letter adapted from one sent to the Office of Ombudsman of Ontario, on November 28, 2016, by Sherri Lange, CEO North American Platform Against Wind Power (NA-PAW). This second part concerns the difficulties people have encountered in getting medical professionals to stand up to the political-industrial wind complex. The third part of Lange’s letter will be posted tomorrow.

The Huron County (Ontario) Board of Health has now agreed to a plan to “investigate” or “study” the health impacts of residents, in conjunction with the University of Waterloo and Wind Concerns Ontario. But questions remain about the involvement of several professors from this cooperating university who have not found meaningful results in their research. Their published conclusions have merely led to yet another call for “more study” and a passing condolence to the “annoyance” that persons feel toward the wind projects.…

The following letter has been adapted from one sent to the Office of the Ombudsman of Ontario, on November 28, 2016, by Sherri Lange, CEO North American Platform Against Wind Power (NA-PAW). The second part of the letter will be posted tomorrow and the third part on Friday.

Dear Ombudsman Dube, Deputy Ombudsman Finlay, Mr. Pomerant, and Ms. Driscoll:

Please accept our appreciation for the investigation by your good office into numerous complaints over the years, concerning the health, economic, environmental, and legal/judicial degradation resulting from the proliferation of industrial wind in Ontario.

The North American Platform Against Wind Power represents more than 370 groups and tens of thousands of individuals in a worldwide network, and is in daily contact with its European counterparts, numbering in the thousands of groups. From our perspective, we can see that the problems of industrial wind power are not specific to Ontario, as is suggested by developers; they are universal.…

” … building renewable energy infrastructure need not – and must not – be at the expense of birds and wildlife. Migratory birds face many threats and poorly sited renewable energy facilities and their associated infrastructure, notably power lines and towers, are killing hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of birds annually, including species of conservation concern.”-

– Open Letter to the US Department of Interior (below)

The American Bird Conservancy (ABC) has actively complained to state and federal authorities about a double standard applied to politically correct, environmentally incorrect wind farms and central-station solar farms cited in bird-sensitive areas. The letter below is the latest attempt of ABC to apply existing statutes to energy infrastructure.

Dear Secretary Jewell and Acting Manager Goldfuss,

2016 marks the 100th anniversary of the Migratory Bird Treaty, a landmark and unparalleled international agreement that has protected, recovered, and maintained abundant bird populations for many groups of birds, especially shorebirds, waterfowl, and herons, and has helped maintain the spectacle of bird migration throughout the hemisphere.…

“In the green state of Vermont, a 28-turbine mega-wind project is being vehemently opposed by some board members and citizens in the towns of Windham and Grafton, concerned that the power station would affect property values and the environment.”

“When I stopped in Somerset [Vermont] a few days ago, the turbine blades did not seem to move at all. An educational display was still posted outside the turnpike service plaza, with all the potential savings for the Earth from harnessing wind power. No mention of the huge costs associated with such a pie-in-the-sky watermelon dream.”

I saw the once-verdant wheat fields of Eastern Europe covered with ugly wind turbines, slowly spinning their huge blades into the wind. A few funnel dust swirls were blowing the topsoil into the air. They did not appear to be connected to any storage station that would distribute the electrical power generated.…
