It's been a couple of weeks since i sent the company a email and got no reply.
I read with interst on the debate of windpower a lot of landholder's are concernd of the impact that these turbine have on their property.
Gerry McGowan of CBD Energy has stated the veiw of reports of the world health organisation,CSIRO, and the national health and medical research council- who told the senate committie:"there are no direct pathological effects from wind farms." It's our experience there are a lot of landholders out who would like to drought proof their properties by harvesting the natural resourse that blows across their land.
In a country like Australian we are very fortunate to have a robust system of planning regulation where approvals for development like wind farms are aimed at balancing a variety of community and expert views.
Cheapest source of renewable energy is windpower so it's important that we get the balance right for the future of Australians.
For people who weren't familar with these project need to look at countries like Europe or the US these countries have generated electricty (windpower) for the past 20years and no health concerns have been reported.
In looking forward CBD Energy have just sign a joint venture with two of china's biggest utilities which gives Australian access to the latest and most efficient wind generation technology and equipment in the world.
This means that CBD can deliver sustainable, wind-generated electricity ata price comparable with traditional power sources when the value of renewable energy certificates is taken into account.
The company is very happy about the jobs and income that wind farms bring to rural communities and hope, as time goes by, we might read more about the benifits of this renewable energy.
