The South Branch Wind Opposition Group will be hosting the first of several information sessions on November 21, 2011 at Dixon’s Community Centre (formerly Dixon’s Corners Public School), located at 10951 County Road 18 in Dixon’s Corners.

The session will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will feature a number of guest speakers who will share their knowledge and experience and answer questions regarding the realities of living near wind turbines, such as negative health effects and property depreciation.  As well, we will hear first-hand from residents near Thamesville as they share how living with industrial wind turbines has affected their lives.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain

Today marked the launch of ‘WindyLeaks’, a website who’s splash page includes the quote; “What your government does not tell you about industrial turbines”.  A fitting quote as the inaugural document on the site is an internal memo from the Ministry of Environment indicating that staff had recognized the negative issues industrial wind turbines were causing.

You can read the memo here, and be sure to check the WindyLeaks site often as there are bound to be more revelations.
