Funny someone from WCO is whining about censoring comments. Anytime I try to post a comment contradicting their misinformation, it’s never posted.

What scientific literature do you have to back up WTS? A quick Google Scholar search reveals mainly only Ms. Pierpont's unsubstantiated research.

Look a little deeper. Most of Europe, and Denmark, have enacted moratoria on industrial wind development. Many people are sick all over the world with signs and symptoms SPECIFIC to sympathetic nervous system overload, the underlying cause of ALL disease.

And animals are getting sick, too. So sad.

If WTS does not get people in the short-term, the horrific deaths and injuries of our magnificent birds turn stomachs and cause nightmares in many of us who are healthy. Imagine the effects on children who understand that all creatures are related, and who feel love for all creatures. If you are too cynical yourself to feel, in your own body ,the effects of such slaughter, know that some of us do feel sick beyond words to see and know that our birds and bats are dying in vast numbers, mangled and killed by NON-GREEN monstrosities born from GREED. UNETHICAL=NOT GREEN.

I know right from wrong. And the slaughter of flying creatures, the most evolved sentients on our planet, is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

Laforet is a former Ontario Liberal staffer. Not sure WCO has lots of money, just good PR. Most of it sets of my BS detector too – I think they’re mostly just on the NIMBYist view of wind power.

Wind Concerns Ontario started showed up in my feeds a couple of months ago. Each of the articles I read gave me a pretty bad feeling. Lots of rhetoric and misinformation mixed in with genuine concerns and problems. A couple of times I’ve gone looking for third party information on this organization, but I haven’t found anything useful. It appears to be the baby of one John Laforet , but the name doesn’t mean anything to me and I don’t find a lot of information on the intertubes.

Anyone got some relevant background? Where’s their money coming from?
