NEW YORK, June 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following article was issued today by the Alternative Energy News Source:
A dangerous trend of political opposition to wind farms has developed in 2006. Beginning with one or two isolated incidents, the opposition to wind power is rapidly growing into a global movement that threatens all future renewable energy projects. The reasons behind the opponents of wind vary, but the effect of harming a great potential for environmentally friendly energy is the same. Many foes of offshore wind farms believe that wind turbines will be ugly and will damage the coastal view. The Cape Wind project in Massachusetts has been opposed by Senator Ted Kennedy, whose house overlooks the waters of the proposed project. Donald Trump opposed a wind farm in Scotland that was near the coast of a golf course he planned to build. Wind farm enemies in Texas, Scotland and Australia have objected to wind farms by claiming that birds will fly into the turbines and be killed. In Illinois, critics have stalled a wind farm by saying that moving shadows will make people nauseous. British politicians have objected to wind turbines' appearance, and residents of New Zealand have initiated legal proceedings against local wind farms. The FAA is blocking multiple wind farm projects, claiming they may interfere with radars.See the full content of this document
