Damage to Hydrology " However the windfarm layout has been designed such that bulk fuel and chemical stores will be located at the site compound, outside the public supply catchment and therefore no pathway to the public supply intake could be established for any spillage occurring at the site compound. That part of the windfarm development located within the supply catchment is sited at the head of the catchment, over 1km from the intake. Any spilled pollutants would have to travel this considerable distance, via a number of lochs before reaching the public supply intake and would be subject to significant dispersion and dilution. In addition a rigorous pollution prevention plan will be implemented. " Read more... |

The Case Against Industrial Wind Turbines To be green, or not to be green? That is the question! The answer my friends, is not blowing in the wind, as many residents of rural Canada and elsewhere around the world are finding out – the hard way – by living next to giant industrial wind turbines (400 to 500 feet tall and growing).
