The Democratic Deficit.

After reading comments on ‘windmills'on webcameron and the article in Planning Magazine 2/03/07,"Industry cries foul over wind shortfall" I decided it was necessary to write this blog.
I challenge the overall methodology that has been used to promote wind energy and in the interest of democracy I documented detailed events in Force10, Force10 Companion Guide(The New Lambton Wyrm )
They are to all intents and purposes a piece of Social History, record of the true facts. Copies are buried on Barningham Moor, Teesdale and all three books are available for download on www.wind-farm.co.uk
In particular I take issue on how PPS22 has evolved and challenge PPS22 Companion Guide, that scarlet pimpernel of all planning documents; its 185 pages surfacing 6 months after the 11 page document it was to support.
Reduction of CO2 emissions and other pollutants seem lost in the race for regional targets, mainly onshore wind. A real catch 22 as until wind turbines are built, we cannot prove whether wind turbines are reducing CO2 emissions as expected. They are certainly not in the North East!
Under provisions of the Legal Deposit Libraries Act 2003, Force10, Force10 Companion Guide and The Summary of the long fight to save Barningham High Moor, had to been deposited with:
The British Library
The Bodleian Library, University of Oxford
Cambridge University
National Library of Scotland
National Library of Wales
Trinity College Dublin
As a matter of courtesy to Tony Blair, and at my request, Alan Milburn MP forwarded a copy of Force10 Companion Guide to the Prime Minister
