tried to stay out of this but there is an element of bullshit to this. Plenty of farmers that have the Bungendore turbines on their place were happy to have them, plenty of famers that had the Taralga turbines on them were happy to have them and plenty of farmers that could have the Errowanbang towers on their place are happy for them to be there. I know this because I have spoken to them. There are people in the community that dont like them, sure, but for many farmers they are a godsend. One of the farmers who would have towers from the Errowanbang farm 5km from my place is hoping the development goes ahead. $50K guaranteed income regardless of how much rain he gets and a road through the most inaccessible part of his property. According to the Taralga publican, the people bitching a moaning about the Taralga towers were city people that didnt want the view from their country getaway ruined (dont want to destroy the serrated tussock covered landscape at Bannaby). And on that note, those towers only went ahead because a referendum said 75% of the local ratepayers were in favour. So in summary, despised by the communities my arse.

your posts might be better if you have some factual material to back up what your saying otherwise it just seems like you are on a propoganda mission. and please no pictures of submarines. been there, done that.
