Australian rancher, Charlie Prell, is encouraging other landowners to sign wind contracts because, “There’s billions of dollars” worth of wind farms waiting to be built.

One has to wonder WHY Mr. Prell would use a survey that is several years old. Could it be because he knows that a current survey would show much less support, as more and more truth about industrial wind turbines becomes known?

Grazier Charlie Prell says a noisy minority opposed to wind farms in the Canberra region does not represent more than 70 per cent of people in his shire who support them.
He chaired a meeting of 100 farmers, lawyers and earth-moving contractors at Yass last week with the aim of forming a landholders’ network to foster wind and solar farms.
About 50 protesters gathered outside, angry that they had been barred from the meeting.
Mr Prell was unapologetic. ”We deliberately made it invite only because we wanted to have good exchange of information and ideas without getting subverted and distracted by the divisive tactics of the anti-wind farm lobby,” he said.
Multinational energy companies are either building or planning billions of dollars worth of wind farms in the Yass, Goulburn and Canberra districts.
