GEORGE MONBIOT is one of the world's most influential radical thinkers. A weekly columnist for the Guardian, he is also the best-selling author of The Age of Consent and Captive State. In 1995, Nelson Mandela presented him with a United Nations Global 500 Award for outstanding environmental achievement. In his book Heat: How to Stop the Planet Burning, at the start of his chapter on renewable energy he says:

There are many things I dislike about renewable energy, or - to be more precise - about the industry that promotes it. I dislike the misleading claims its advocates make. I dislike the tokenism that attends it: a petrol company might put a wind turbine beside a filling station (because it is too far from the grid to make a connection worthwhile) and its customers think it has gone green. I dislike the way in which covering the countryside with wind turbines is often seen as a solution to our excessive consumption of fossil fuel, as if the new technology, in the absence of policy, replaced rather than simply augmented the old one

In this section we expose the myths and misinformation put out by Community Windpower, the wind industry and the government

The government says that windfarms are essential to avoid an energy crisis.
THIS IS A TOTAL MYTH

In this section we analyse the claims made by Davidstow Community Windfarm regarding the amount of energy that it would produce, the number of homes that would be supplied, the alleged savings in CO2 and the equivalent number of cars that would be displaced

visualisations (How Big and How Near - a paper by Colin Caudery)
The photographic format generally adopted by the windfarm industry is wide-angle narrow panoramic strips. There are two major problems with this format: they make the landscape look much further away than it is in reality, and the vertical scale of the landscape appears reduced, thereby greatly lessening the visual impact of the turbines. We are demanding that Cornwall Council immediately address this issue, after all the only way that the visual impact can be judged is by studying accurate photomontages.

It is a planning requirement when submitting an application for a windfarm, that a noise assessment is carried out. Unfortunately the standards defined were drawn up many years ago before the arrival of the new generation of wind turbines

The wind industry and the government deny that there is a problem
