Country Guardian

Country Guardian http://www.countryguardian.net/ is "is a UK conservation group which, since 1991, has campaigned against the construction of wind turbines in environmentally sensitive areas. We object because wind turbines convert rural landscape into industrial landscape, and because they are a poor source of renewable energy."

That being said, there is some good information to be had on their web site, particularly their 54 page "The case against windfarms" file by independent consultant, Dr John Etherington. It is a good all round "starter kit" on basic information to do with wind energy. The references are primarily British, but the principals remain the same, wherever you are.

The direct .pdf address link does not seem to work. Go to http://www.countryguardian.net/Case%20document.htm
and click on "click to download the ADOBE version...."

You can get there from the home page too.
