Abstract

The book entitled ‘The Wind Farm Scam’ by John Etherington is being championed as a definitive text by anti-wind groups. This critique considers the content chapter by chapter with a serious analysis. The conclusion is that whilst some of the content is standard knowledge and therefore uncontested, much of the rest stems from an emotional predisposition against the visual impact of wind turbines that leads to prejudice and factual error. The amount of electricity from central generation that is abated by wind power is a key issue, which leads, in an illogical manner, to doubt about climate change. Encouraged by his publisher to state what generation he prefers, Etherington opts for nuclear power.
