Wind industry’s global attitude: blame the victims

Few Vermonters will defend wind turbines, so the national organization comes to the rescue. Go look at the American Wind Energy Association's members: mostly large multinational corporations heavily invested in fossil fuel and nuclear.

The industry's global attitude of blaming the victims is offensive in the extreme. Abuse people once by making them sick and unable to sleep; abuse them again by telling everyone it's all in their heads. Same story everywhere.
