Turbine ‘gag orders’

It has almost become a chant of the wind industry; There is not enough scientific information to warrant a study that living in close proximity to wind turbines causes health problems.


The wind industry does not want a valid study. What this statement is saying is ~ It would take a scientific study to get the information required to prove that a study is warranted.


Part of the problem with the scientific evidence and the deniability of the wind companies may be the GAG order this may be silencing many voices keeping them from speaking out.


We need an independent study without the veil of GAG orders, possibly skewing the results. But until there is a study done the wind companies can weasel out by saying there is no conclusive data. If there were an honest scientific study done this most likely would be the death of the wind industry, not because they may not have places to develop that are away from people’s homes, but because of the costs that would be incurred as a result of a study and what this would mean for existing turbines that have to be shut down and the wide ranging financial implications that would result…



Turbine ‘gag orders’ taken to Superior Court | www.citizen.on.ca | Orangeville Citizen

By WES KELLER Freelance Reporter
The issue of “gag orders” that former Melancthon resident Barbara Ashbee refers to from time to time could soon evaporate if a Toronto lawyer succeeds in his arguments that the non-disclosure clauses in certain contracts are too far-reaching to be legal.

Julian Falconer, better known as the attorney for the family of Ashley Smith who committed suicide while in custody, is representing a Goderich-area farming couple in a Superior Court challenge of the clauses.

Reminds me of the oldest trick in politics. "Limiting the scope" of investigations. I can't count how many "documentaries" I've see on the JFK assassination. They control the diatribe and anyone who goes beyond it is a nut case.Anyone who saw the original footage saw JFK get shot in the head and his brains were all over Jackie, yet they stick to the single bullet theory like they do every other "theory". They always ignore what's obvious to the general public. Just like now. Just like 9/11. It's the same people running the same old song and dance. How could Kennedy get shit in the neck and the head with one bullet? When Jackie screamed at Johnson on the phone "His brains were all over me" . We saw it. Is everyone but the Warren commission wrong? Is everyone who witnesses and suffers the harms of wind turbines wrong? Of course they are. Because the facts are inconvenient. They don't fit with what we are told to believe. Who the hell gives these people the right to tell us anything? We do. Not in my lifetime. Not in my name.
