Hi Friends & Family,
You have been blind copied to protect your email address.
No doubt you are hearing lot's about green energy and wind turbines are a big part of that. What you don't know is the Ontario government is pushing these turbines too quickly and creating health and safety risk to residents. The blades of a turbine weigh over 4-tons each, this one threw a blade 500 metres and debris was found 1.5KM away.
Over 30 Ontario families have been impacted by wind turbines, the vibrations and noise impact the middle ear creating something like motion sickness. The National Academy of Medicine in France has recommended 1.5KM setbacks from homes, yet George Smitherman, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure is trying to force 500 metres or less setbacks.

Please sign this petition to increase wind turbine setbacks to safe distances www.gopetition.com/petitions/wind-watch.html and pass this petition on to your friends and family.

I will spend the day indoors because of unseasonally cold weather, with a warm fire in the stove, loud spastic jazz, a single malt scotch and a good Dominican cigar...fuck the earth today, it can look out for it's own interests if it's intent on freezing me to death. Another harvested tree, fermented grain and plant leaves put to good use servicing man's needs. Besides, I think Gaia is on the rag most days.
ReplyDeleteA warm fireside tale for Earth day:
House #1 A 20 room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern "snow belt" area. It's in the South.
House #2
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.
HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville, Tennessee; it is the abode of the "environmentalist" Al Gore.

HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas; it is the residence the of the former President of the United States, George W. Bush.
