The Truth about Wind Turbines
It is amazing when the concepts and ideas of individuals are brought to life and given a chance to prove their success. Without trying we would never know. So why is it taking so long for people to warm up to sustainable energy and innovative ideas that will curb climate change and benefit our environment? Could it be that those who support ‘dirty oil’ and those who benefit from it won’t be able to amass the profits they would should the public warm to the idea of sustainable energy? YES, that is precisely why. Profit is much more important than the sake of our planet – until, WE THE PEOPLE, demand better. We need to stand together and collectively create positive change in the world through peaceful protest.
