By DAN BROWN, The London Free Press
Wind energy opponent Esther Wrightman freely admits she uses underhanded tactics. “Was it devious? Absolutely,” she said with a chuckle Monday.

NextEra officials have now been relegated to holding their information session about the company’s proposed 50-turbine wind farm near Parkhill in a pavilion outside the rec centre.

Good for you, Esther! Turbine companies are masters at underhanded techniques. It looks good to have the tables turned on them.
Fight the good fight, Esther. Please keep us posted.
‘Absolutely Brilliant’!

Snoozing – Mayor Bolton – still trying to figure out what ‘Conflict of Interest’ means.
It takes a long time to get a train rolling, but once it gets up to speed it takes a lot longer to STOP!………….this Wind War is just like that……………….years to evolve………decades to stop!
Well done!!!!!
“Well behaved women rarely make history!”
Way to go Esther! A girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do! Well done!
Thanks for the quick thinking Esther, & taking matters into your own hands. Don’t be surprised if the police will be encouraged to find a reason to charge you with some vague offence after this.
Two minutes for looking so good …
