Letter of support from EPAW-members in Germany
Dear Members of the Society for Wind Vigilance, dear organizers, scientists, experts and visitors of this important symposium in Canada!
The members of EPAW – European Platform against
Windfarms – in Germany support your International Symposium and your struggle
to protect the health of human beings, social structures and nature against
industrial wind energy by exposing the dangers caused by wind power plants for
health and social justice.
Today there are some 22.000 wind turbines in Germany and the number is increasing
all the time.- Many lie on the coast but more and more are being built inland
to, where they are being set up in forests and on hills and mountains. In addition
we soon will experience the plague of thousands of offshore wind turbines in
the North Sea and the Baltic..
We represent thousands of German victims and opponents
of wind turbines, including those in the northernmost region in Germany, where
once was the cradle of the German wind power, who are suffering since more than
two decades from the impact of wind turbines. The symptoms, which Nina Pierpont
calls WTS in her book “Wind Turbine Syndrome”, many of us already
know very well. As much as we experienced the loss of habitat and life of our
species (especially birds and bats – soon the whales because of offshore
wind turbines projected and already in construction) and the destroy of nature
and landscape in Germany.
We are ashamed that many of the industrial killing machines are coming just
from our region and about the fact that almost all the major conservation organisations
in Germany have sold out to the industrial wind turbine lobby by accepting donations
and sponsorship. There is therefore no support from this direction for wildlife
protection in our country.
Officially in Germany there are neither subsonic nor
infrasonic sound waves caused by wind turbines!
In Germany there is only good, clean and green energy obtained by wind. Every
German loves wind energy and is proud that the world will be saved thanks to
it !?!?
Don’t believe those who tell you such lies!!!
These are wind energy fairy tales which could better
be described as nightmares!
Many people don’t dare to say openly “I’m against Wind Energy”
because they will be laughed at, abused, insulted and provoked by officialdom
and the media.They are even threatened and attacked by those who want to make
“Big Money with Big Wind” !- Many people are too frightened to speak
openly for their civil rights. They are desperate because they receive neither
help nor support. -. I’m not talking theory! I speak from painful, personal
experience!
Living beside wind turbines between 300 to 1000 km away is like a trip to hell!
Various symptoms as high blood pressure, dizziness, headache, tinnitus and insomnia
or total lack of sleep for example one has to bear.
But in Germany, where energy produced by wind turbines
is called “ecological” and industrial wind turbines are sacred,
people living in proximity to the 22,000 wind turbines in this country (some
of them since 20 years or more) suffering from WTS and VAD, or others who will
likely to become ill if the installation of an additional 25,000 new generation
wind turbines planned and approved will be realized, all this officially doesn’t
exist.
We, the German members of EPAW, want to thank you for this important international
Symposium and your dedication to uncover the danger of the emissions by windturbines
for health and social life!
Many thanks and best wishes to Ontario from all “headwinders”
in Germany –
