| " But Wind Farm Mania
is no minor problem. It is a serious disease with deadly effects, and
it seems to be spreading at an unprecedented rate in New Zealand. It
thrives on a diet of misinformation, half-truth, and the lunatic belief
that the activities of human beings, everywhere, must take precedence over
all other values... Windpower is the latest corporate solution. Clean and
green and renewable, just like we used to think hydro was, until we
woke up one day and discovered the rivers had gone."
