UN ruling puts future of UK wind farms in jeopardy !!!

THIS RULING  FROM  THE UN  IS  A VERY  IMPORTANT  DECISION FOR  ALL  WIND  WARRIORS :

HERE  IN  MAINE ,WE HAVE FOR  YEARS  NOW  TRIED  TO EXPRESS THAT PL661 ( THE EXPEDITED WIND LAW )  HAS  BEEN WRITTEN AND  IMPOSED IN 2008  ON  MAINE CITIZENS IN  THE  MOST DICTATORIAL FASHION.   

FOR  THREE  CONSECUTIVE  LEGISLATIVE  SESSIONS WE  HAVE TRIED  TO EXPRESS  THE FLAWS   AND INJUSTICES BOTH  ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL OF  THAT LAW .

AT THE END  OF  THE LAST  LEGISLATIVE SESSION  AND  AFTER   YET  ANOTHER REJECTION  OF ALL  THE  BILLS  PROPOSED  TO AMEND THE  INFAMOUS  EXPEDITED  WIND  LAW  THAT  WERE  PRESENTED  TO THE  ENERGY , UTILITY AND TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE , A NEW  SERIES  OF  PUBLIC  MEETINGS OR PRESENTATIONS  WILL  BE  MADE  TO FURTHER " RE -EDUCATE " THE  COMMITTEE ON  THE  MATTERS OF  WIND POWER  IN SEPTEMBER AS  A COMPROMISE  TO ALL  BILLS  PRESENTED AND  KILLED IN  COMMITTEE.

AS  IT APPEARS  NOW THE PUBLIC  WILL NOT  HAVE  ANY  IMPACT ON  THE MATTER.

YOU  MAY  RECALL  THAT  THE EUT  COMMITTEE HAS RECEIVED  THE FULL REPORT CALLED: " WIND ASSESSMENT  2012 FROM THE OEIS"  LAST MAY.  A REPORT THAT CONTAINS  25 RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE   WIND PERMITTING  PROCESS AS  WELL AS  ITS  MANY FLAWS.  

THIS REPORT HAS BEEN CONVENIENTLY IGNORED BY THE COMMITTEE.

WE  WILL  KEEP  YOU  POSTED  OF  THE FORMAT  OF  THOSE  EDUCATIVE  SESSIONS , IF INDEED PUBLIC  PARTICIPATION  IS NOT ALLOWED   WE  MAY  HAVE  A STRONG  CASE OF BEING  EXCLUDED  FROM  THE PROCESS OF DECISION MAKING IN  WIND  FARM PERMITTING AS EXPRESSED IN THE UN  RULING .

THE EUT COMMITTEE  IS  ESSENTIAL IN RULING ON ALL ATTEMPTS  TO  CORRECT THE  UNDEMOCRATIC  WIND LAW AND IF  IT  PERSISTS IN  REJECTING THE INPUT  OF  CITIZENS  IN FAVOR  OF  THE  WIND INDUSTRY , IT DE FACTO PARALYZES THE REGULATORY AGENCIES LIKE DEP AND  EVEN THE LAW COURTS DECISIONS ON  THE PERMITTING OF PROJECTS.

IT  IS  THUS OF  UTMOST IMPORTANCE FOR THAT COMMITTEE TO LISTEN TO CITIZENS INTHE UPCOMING  SEPTEMBER  SESSIONS .

Exclusive: UN ruling puts future of UK wind farms in jeopardy

Tribunal warns that the Government acted illegally by denying public participation

Plans for future wind farms in Britain could be in jeopardy after a United Nations legal tribunal ruled that the UK Government acted illegally by denying the public decision-making powers over their approval and the “necessary information” over their benefits or adverse effects.
The new ruling, agreed by a United Nations committee in Geneva, calls into question the legal validity of any further planning consent for all future wind-farm developments based on current policy, both onshore and offshore.
The United Nations Economic Commission Europe has declared that the UK flouted Article 7 of the Aarhus Convention, which requires full and effective public participation on all environmental issues and demands that citizens are given the right to participate in the process.
The UNECE committee has also recommended that the UK must in the future submit all plans and programmes similar in nature to the National Renewable Energy Action Plan to public participation, as required by Article 7.
The controversial decision will come as a blow for the Coalition’s wind-power policy, which is already coming under attack from campaigners who want developments stopped because of medical evidence showing that the noise from turbines is having a serious impact on public health as well as damaging the environment.\

The tide is turning. You cannot keep a scam going forever.

Information wants to be free, and it will.

It sure would be nice if the Maine media would listen carefully to the information we have. Their delays in fully exposing this fraud are costing Mainers a fortune on every level.

PLEASE HELP.

My question is, who is making this "presentation" to the EUT to "educate" them on the matters of wind power and its impact on the environment and on rural residents?  I understand we the people of Maine are being excluded from particpating in these special sessions.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
