Destroying pristine forests and wrecking critical wildlife habitats is all in a day\u2019s work for the wind industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s wiping out millions of trees across the Scottish Highlands<\/a>, turning Germany\u2019s Black Forest into sawdust and smoking ruins<\/a> or ripping the Amazon basin apart to extract the millions of tonnes of balsa wood<\/a> it needs to build hundreds of thousands of 50-80m turbine blades each year, the wind industry\u2019s \u2018couldn\u2019t care less attitude\u2019 is prone to rankle those with real affection for the natural order and the glorious world we live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such character is Dominic Legoe<\/a>. Dominic has over 30 years\u2019 experience in engineering design, business development and project management, including designing ports and harbours and associated infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dominic has joined the growing chorus of outrage about the Queensland and Federal governments providing the \u2018green\u2019 light for the wind industry\u2019s planned and obviously deliberate destruction of Queensland\u2019s pristine dryland tropical forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the following piece \u2013 which is an edited extract from a longer paper available in full here (PDF)<\/a> \u2013 Dominic lays bare what\u2019s in store for Queensland, its wild and rugged wilderness, and its peaceful rural communities, if the wind industry is not stopped dead in its tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now is the time to act to stop the Queensland government approving an environmental disaster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
