CANWEA standards for health effect studies scrape the bottom of the barrel

CANWEA President Robert Hornung, in an interview regarding the upcoming Health Canada study into the effects of wind turbines on humans made this astounding comment…..

 “CanWEA notes that the balance of scientific evidence to date clearly demonstrates that wind turbines do not have an impact on human health and that this perspective has been confirmed by numerous independent reviews of the scientific literature.”

“This is backed by a growing body of work,” said Hornung, “including reports by Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, the National Public Health Institute in Quebec, and most recently by an expert panel report to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Department of the Environment.”

WHAT??!!!  He’s using the January 2012 Massachusetts report as basis for their contention that wind turbines are safe?  If that’s what their standard is, then we know for certain that their standard is pretty freaking LOW!

Anyone who is a regular reader of Quixotes Last Stand, knows the report to which Hornung is referring to.  It’s the report that was torn to shreds on this site several months ago.  But for those of you who aren’t familiar with that pathetically laughable “independent health study” here it is….

A Perfect Example of How a “Health Study” is Skewed

CAW turbine

First report of CAW turbine protest

Contrary to CAW President Ken Lewenza’s assertions to the media yesterday that opposition to the CAW wind turbine at their Family Education Centre is dwindling, Port Elgin and other supporters from across the province gave a strong showing for their protest parade today.

And if Lewenza was not the spineless weasel that he is, he would have addressed the concerns of Port Elgin residents.  But in the typical cowardice and thumbing of his nose, that he has demonstrated for several months, he chose to stand back and avoid any confrontation over the decision to foist their industrial wind turbine on the town of Port Elgin.   What a leader!!!

As part of the protest parade, being positioned close to the end of the long line of cars, trucks, bikes, tractors and walkers, it was heartening to see other residents standing on the sidewalks along the downtown core, giving us thumbs up, applause and waves of encouragement.  Cars that passed us going in the other direction on Highway 21, gave their approval with blasts of their horns and waves out their vehicle windows.

So as has come to be expected from anyone who is profitting from the FIT subsidies of Ontario taxpayers, Mr. Lewenza continues the norm of spewing lies and deceit regarding the CAW wind turbine.

Pictures will be posted as they become available.
