What they [wind turbines] are now is a parasite on the grid. When the windmill doesn't feel like turning, the grid has to pick up the slack

In green terms windmills are a mistake and economically make no sense. . . Many of us thought wind was the 100 per cent solution for the future but we were wrong. In fact, taking all energy needs into account it is only a 3 per cent solution.

Wind energy has again been shown up for what it is, an expensive way of saving a derisory amount of CO2. It is, frankly, a disgrace, that the wind turbine farce continues in the name of saving the planet. The [UK]Government should intervene immediately and stop these projects - they are a waste of our resources.

Perhaps our lack of inner peace is due to some extent to the effect of noise upon the nervous system of modern people. Scientific experiments show that noise in the place where we work, live, or sleep reduces efficiency to a noticeable degree. Contrary to popular belief, it is doubtful if we ever completely adjust our physical, mental, or nervous mechanisms to noise. No matter how familiar a repeated sound becomes, it never passes unheard by the subconscious. Automobile horns, the roar of airplanes, and other strident noises actually result in physical activity during sleep. Impulses transmitted to and through the nerves by these sounds cause muscular movements which detract from real rest. If the reaction is sufficiently severe, it partakes of the nature of shock.
