This handout picture taken and released by Kyoto Prefecture on March 13, 2013 shows a windmill completely demolished after it crashed to the ground in the town of Ine, Kyoto prefecture. Kyoto prefecture announced that the propeller (50 meters in diameter and weighing 45 tons), with a generator attached fell approximately 50 meters to the ground at a wind farm.

From STOP THESE THINGS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rural communities are fighting back hard against the great wind power fraud, wherever the wind industry seeks to ply its subsidy-soaked trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wherever wind farms have appeared \u2013 or have been threatened \u2013 big numbers of locals take a set against the monsters being speared into their previously peaceful \u2013 and often idyllic \u2013 rural communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their anger extends to the goons that lied their way to development approval \u2013 and the bent officials that rubber-stamped their applications and who, thereafter, help the operators ride roughshod over locals\u2019 rights to live in and enjoy the peace and comfort of their own homes and properties (see our post here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As wind turbines are incapable of generating power on demand and wouldn\u2019t last a second without massive subsidies, there is no \u2018right\u2019 place for them. Any power generation source that can\u2019t deliver electricity on demand is pointless, so talk about appropriate siting is pure nonsense. Why bother?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rent seekers and crony capitalists are still pushing hard to jam these things in any backyard they can find, but in the grand prairie Province of Alberta, hard-working rural communities are fighting back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
