Windturbines: the whole truth.
X1. Which persons or agencies in the Netherlands are guilty of these misleadings?
In any case there are the people within the Ministry of Economic Affairs (EZ) and nowadays also those people that consider themselves "experts on the matter" within the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM). These even refuse to take note of the a-political but technical arguments of people that have no personal interest of any kind in the contruction or not of windturbines. The firm background behind their statement is "The government has decided".
Then there are the many so-called "people and agencies offering information on windturbines", most of whom are linked in some way or another with and supported by the government, and therefore have a clear intertwined interest in the construction of windturbines. As there are: Professor Dr. Eng. G.A.M. van Kuik from the Technical University of Delft; - Jos Beurkens- Ecofys; from ECN Petten the Wind Energy Department; Projectbureau Sustainable Energy Arnhem; Dutch Association for Wind Energy - Grontmij; Association of Wind Turbine Owners Frijslän; Mr. M.A.E.Calon from and with the National Steering Committee for Wind Energy Development, Wind Service Holland (who even wrote to me once that the yield of windturbines is "not relevant"! how charming...) ; Groenraedt; Diederik Samsom (a Member of the Parliament who once asked me by e-mail, cynically, why I thought honesty was so important in these matters).
It is not hard to come to the conclusion that all the people and agencies mentioned here systematically withhold essential but unfavourable information. You just need to ask anyone of them to tell you something on a wind turbine project. It will undoubtedly all sound fabulous. And surely there are a few more that, sadly, conceal the unfavourable facts. And that is just because of their proven liaison with certain interests and/or the big money. Or their political or otherwise agreeable job. As all the people named here are of course perfectly aware what the characteristics, limitations and risks of the application of wind energy are, their silence about all the disadvantages, without any doubt, must be interpreted as their taking part in the misleading of the public.
That is also why we can state: once the whole truth has been told about a given wind turbine, it will not be built for the production of electricity for national requirements, anywhere. The only reason why so many windturbines are nevertheless built world-wide is that also in this matter of wind energy, big money and deception rule.
