Vestas Turbine Victims Lay Out Facts

Vestas’ Danish Victims Lay Out the FACTSJanuary 4, 2014 by stopthesethings

In response to the National Wind Power Fraud Rally in June, struggling Danish fan maker, Vestas paid $millions to a crack team of spin doctors to invent a campaign aimed at winning back the “moral” high ground.

It called its new public relations model “Act on Facts” – we covered some of their “facts” in this post.

Here’s a video containing a number of other inconvenient “facts” – principally the stories of Vestas own Danish victims. Watch it and worry:

Curious that Danes should complain about precisely the same effects from the incessant low-frequency noise and infra-sound generated by giant fans that Vestas’ victims at Macarthur in Victoria do? (see our post here)

You see, one theory, peddled by a former tobacco advertising guru is that complaints like those heard from dozens of wind farms around Australia are a phenomenon exclusive to the English speaking world. The last time STT visited Denmark, Danish was still the native tongue – although quite a few youngsters in Copenhagen spoke a half decent form of broken English. Or, perhaps, Danish is just a heavily accented English dialect?

Curious too, that Vestas and Siemens refused to be interviewed for the video? Surely, here was a golden opportunity to toss up some more “wonderful facts” about their products? But, we guess, it’s probably safer to keep your head below the parapet when you’re not in complete control of the final product.

The only contribution from Vestas was a pious eco-fascist guilt trip – laid on thicker than a whale omelette – that appears towards the end of the video.

When presented with FACTS about the very real human suffering caused by their fans (ie the daily acoustic misery lived by thousands of people globally, just like those in this video) these monsters fallback on the myth of global warming in an effort to justify it.

Real human suffering appears to be a thoroughly acceptable part of the Vestas plan to cover the globe with their fans and to “save the planet” from “global warming”. Well, it used to be called “global warming” – until the planet stopped heating up over 17 years ago – last time we looked, they called it “climate change”.

Precisely the same stance was taken by Victorian Premier, Denis Napthine – telling the long-suffering neighbours of AGL’s Macarthur wind farm (his own constituents) – that they should consider themselves as “literally road-kill”. Presumably, on the path to a “cleaner, greener, future”, hey Denis?

And when it comes to treating human beings with complete contempt, Napthine is not the only sociopath in the wind industry wood-pile. One goon working for Suzlon REPower told Boorowa farmer and grazier, Sam McGuiness a while back about their plan to lob 100 or so giant fans right in Sam’s backyard: “Sam, you’ll be taking one for the planet”.

If you went back to their childhood, these people were the kids that pulled the wings off bugs and set fire to cats, just for fun.

When people start trying to justify the infliction of human suffering for any reason, we should all start to worry, at least a little. When that harm is perfectly avoidable – and the claimed “benefits” from the activity in question completely non-existent – we should all break into a cold sweat.
