Dan Mills re: Digby Neck Wind Farm

Subject: Environment Critic

I attended MLA Andrew Youngers' session on renewable energy on Tuesday. A capable young man,he made all feel at ease and responded handily to all concerns expressed.

A good part of the discussion centered on large Wind Rigs soon coming to a spot near you on Digby Neck.
The word, compromise, was never uttered, but there were overtones and undertones of it throughout.

Compromise is fine, but not at the expense of truth. Beware, people, those who wag forked tongues!

May I illustrate? In my former life I wore many hats. One was that of marriage counsellor. Sometimes it was a case of infidelity by one or other spouse. Let's take the case of a husband, away from home all week, is found out to be involved with another lady each of six nights that's he is away.

Should he proffer compromise and agree to reduce his visits to his paramour by half, do you think his wife would agree? I think not! That would be a compromise worth nothing! And so not a compromise at all!

When the Wind folk begin playing with our minds and with figures, it may not be truth they speak, but rather manipulation to con us into believing that they are walking the extra mile.

My advice: don't let measurements be the guide. Try truth instead! The peer reviewed author, Dr.Nina Pierpont proposes medical truths that intelligent people should take seriously. Don't be duped by fifty meters here or there, or a move of a Wind Rig to another place.....That may well be a sham which leaves shame on our face.
