NO TURBINES NORTHWEST TASMANIA

source A recent disaster off the coast of the beautiful island of Nantucket continues to unfold. A shredded turbine blade spread six TRUCKLOADS OF DEBRIS, toxic particles of fibreglass, microplastics and more, all over nearby beaches and in the seawater. Now authorities are assessing the impact upon sealife, including seafood. Read the full article here: Nantucket wind turbine disaster     This begs the question - do we want these toxic particles in our food? In our bloodstream? In our children's bodies? And what are the effects of these chemicals upon human health and development? Especially given the carcinogenic impacts of such toxins.

  The above letter was sent to Nick Duigan, the Minister for Energy & Renewables and Parks & Environment ( a conflict of interest, if ever these was one), on 1st July 2024 by the Mayor of Central Coast Council, Cheryl Fuller. This followed feedback from the Central Coast community expressing growing concerns over the wind turbine development proposed for the area.   Please note point 4: "Members of our community in properties neighbouring the proposed REZ have expressed their concerns regarding the impact of turbines on human health and wellbeing. As a key role of local government in Tasmania is to provide for the health, safety and welfare of our communities, we advocate strongly for the REZ to avoid close proximity to all residential areas."   In a bold move, Mayor Fuller acknowledges that there are harmful impacts of such a development upon human health, productivity of food growing land areas and wildlife.

This Sunday, independent MP Craig Garland is convening a public meeting for residents and those interested in the current proposal for a mega wind farm for Northwest Tasmania. The wind farm is proposed for one of 5 Renewable Energy Zones, called REZ. The relevant Tasmanian Government website RECfit announced in July 2024 their intention to establish these zones throughout Tasmania, including one in Bass Strait, off the north coast of our island.   The problem? Despite the community requesting more detailed information about these proposals, in order to properly assess whether they actually  want them in the area, the Tasmanian Government, represented by minister Nick Duigan, has refused to meet with the community to discuss and answer their many valid questions.    Northwest Energy Impacts Independent MP and Braddon electorate representative Craig Garland has stepped up. On Sunday he will provide a venue for people living in and near the proposed zone. The meeting w...

The push for clean, green energy has accelerated at an alarming rate over the last decade or so, with climate alarmists pushing for a radical overhaul of our energy production systems. Let me be clear about this. I am not one to ignore the need for clean energy. Digging up and burning coal is obviously not a good long term solution for this planet. We have to think smarter. But is wind technology really the answer? The wind blows, shifting weather systems around the globe in roughly a west to east direction, bringing changes in temperature, rainfall and pressure. We take the wind for granted, don't we? It's just there. Sometimes it's not welcome; in the sweltering heat it blows hot and dry, causing huge moisture loss on the ground below. In the winter it blows hard and has the capacity to destroy, with tornadoes and cyclones. But we see wind as an asset, something we can harness for our needs and above all - free. These assumptions have led the world to develop wind technol...

Every country that pushes wind turbines wants them off the coast, out of the way, far from view. You'd think that would be fine. Except for the THERMAL AND CHEMICAL POLLUTION. It's actually quite difficult to find accurate information about how much pollution turbines release into the ocean and the other effects on marine life. Here is part of an article written in 2021 about wind turbine effects on Lake Erie: Wind Turbine-borne contaminants Beyond disturbing the sediment for construction and transmission line installation, two additional emerging contaminants are found to be shed by operational wind turbines – bisphenol A and neodymium. Bisphenol A is the primary ingredient in industrial epoxies and is extensively used in turbine blade construction to keep the blades as lightweight as possible. Due to what is known as leading edge erosion, this chemical, a known endocrine inhibitor is damaging to reproductive health in both people and fish. Half-life in air is roug...
