Bisphenol A and the environmentally destructive nature of industrial wind turbines
I’m always amazed at how Industrial Wind Turbine (IWT) proponents avoid discussion and accountability in regards to the inconvenient un-green polluting and environmentally destructive nature of this technology.

Has EBR approved the Ostrander Industrial Wind Turbine development?

I say this because I have been informed that much of the major components of the 9 turbines are now sitting in a storage facility just on the outskirts of Schenectady , New York. That’s right folks, the Industrial […]
