Help protect Britain's " tropical rainforest "

Over 94% of Britain's precious peat bogs have been destroyed - and now the

government is dithering over the fate of two remaining sites. English Nature has

recommended that they become Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), and we need

your help to make it happen.

Well a line for peat moors on the Hebridies...

A large scale wind power plant (over 130 windmills) on the north part

of the Isle of is under way and needs urgent attention to be

stopped. It affects birdlife and precious moorland that is definately

worth a visit if you have not already been there!!!!!

Stina

Ps. For all of you out there who thinks windpower is good - yes it is

good if you have 1 windmill at your farm or alike but not good for

giant scale windfarms.....

Actually I think wind power is a good idea and I live in an area which

has several large scale wind farms. They look magnificent turning in a

brisk breeze. There is an article worth reading in this months

Permaculture magazine on the Amman Valley project in South Wales, a

community run wind energy project, where the siting and construction of

the farm has been carefully planned to avoid any possible negative

environmental impact.

One should be very aware when condemning windpower schemes that the

nuclear industry has a strong vested interest in promoting opposition

to wind power. A group called Country Guardian which supports protest

groups has as its vice president Sir Bernard Ingham (former consultant

to British Nuclear Fuels and current secretary of Supporters of Nuclear

energy) Unless the alternative sources of energy generate a target

amount of power in a given time, the government postion is that the

current moratorium on nuclear power station building will be removed,

surely not in anyone's opinion a good thing. (Polly Toynbee wrote an

excellent article on the situation in the guardian last year, I can

forward it to you if you would like to read it in full)

The Alternative energy centre in Machynlleth also has a wealth of

material on the subject, and , I believe runs a consultancy on setting

up community based, environmentally sensitive wind farms.

There you go!!!

Diversity of man is a great thing!!! I live not too far away from a

nuclear power plant - clean tidy, well rum and very effective. It´s

excess warm water also helps sea birds through the winter by providing

ice free coastal area. As it happens the biggest wind power mill was

errected in Trelleborg (at the time) in the 1980´s, it disturbed

everyone´s television and made an awful noise wooom woom wooom. And

the main reasonright now why I am against windpower is because they

are planning a 200 windmill project off the coast and the soundwaves

given off into the water will confuse the fish who use the site to

bring up their young.

Well I guess however you turn you backside is always to the rear or

whatever. Just hope that we will be able to keep the diversity of

species on this earth.

Stina

PS. AND BY THE WAY... I also find projects of up to 10 windmills

attractive but the projects of up to 200 and more I find just as

sickening as caged hens, pigs in factories, the clubbing to death of

sealcubs, whalehunting, killing of innocent victims and black soup.
