Here is a selection of other sites containing information about wind turbines and the effect they have on the local areas in which they are situated.

The European Platfom Against Windfarms was founded on 4th October 2008. Its aim is to defend the interests of the numerous groups that are either fighting individual windfarm projects, or denouncing the ineffectiveness of windfarms for solving the problems of man and the planet - www.epaw.org

The Scottish Wind Assessment Project  (SWAP) is an impartial project assessing the performance of wind farms in Scotland and the results seem to be showing they are not as efficient as claimed - www.swap.org.uk

The Renewable Energy Foundation encourages the development of renewable energy and energy conservation whilst safeguarding the landscapes of the United Kingdom from unsustainable industrialisation - www.ref.org.uk

The Battle group are protesting against another onshore wind farm in Essex, this time near Bradwell - www.bradwell.info

The Moorsyde Action Group was set up to oppose a 10 x 110m tall turbine project to the South West of Berwick-on-Tweed (and by extension also the two neighbouring projects at Toft Hill (7 x 112m turbines) and Barmoor (9 x 110.5m)). This is one of the most thorough campign sites that exists in the UK, with very useful information about, and links to, the important issues in the wind farm debate - www.moorsydeactiongroup.org.uk

David Bellamy's website debating the impact of wind farms in Wales - www.davidbellamy.co.uk/wind.htm

It is particularly keen on encouraging sufferers of wind farm noise to share their experiences with our other members. The website is: www.makeyourownnoise.co.uk/view.php?p=&n=10&b=1

Turbine Action is another site concerned about wind turbines in Wales - www.turbineaction.co.uk
