Vortex is fighting to protect the countryside; the wildlife habitats and the health and human rights of the residents.
Vortex is fighting to make people aware of the potential problems of living near huge, commercial wind turbines; problems that are now recognised by health organisations and international bodies - but which are denied by the developers. Vortex will inform our planners, our councils and the press about the issues that concern our members.
We are against the industrial development of rural England.

VORTEX is the action group set up by a group of concerned

residents to fight the proposal by Nuon Renewables to

build a Wind Power Station at

Poplar Lane, Bearstone,

North Shropshire.

 

Join us, help us to fight for our rights and to stop the needless desecration of our countryside

 

Help us to raise money to fight this proposal.

Run your own fund raising events

we will advertise them

for you

The latest directives from the EU regarding renwable energy would appear to have given the green light for the power industry to pressure for more sites on which to build wind turbines. The fact that it is an increase in renewable energy (rather than wind energy) that is required seems to be overlooked. We urge the government to review the national planning guidance on wind energy developments and look at how  to reduce the number of speculative applications for onshore wind plants. The current system is not actually law,  is flawed and has led to developers submitting applications for sites, such as this, in rural England that should not be considered for development.

 

We believe that there should be 2 - 3 km between homes (and schools) and commercial wind turbines

but, at the very least we ask

for a legal requirement of  a minimum set back distance of 1 km

GAIL’S DIARY     &    YVONNE’S DIARY

 

Daily diaries of the experience of living near industrial wind turbines. The entries speak for themselves. Gail says ‘ on rereading what we have been through this year it sounds like someone's worst nightmare - and so it has been, The idea that someone, somewhere, has made a lot of money by effectively displacing us, doesn’t bear thinking about, but it happens all the time, all over the world, and the horror is creeping nearer home.......’

Have you seen our blimp?

It is flying (weather permitting) at various locations adjacent to the site - always at  exactly 105 metres - the height of the proposed turbines.
Nuon and the participating farmers have refused to fly a blimp or to allow us to fly ours, from the actual turbine locations - they say ‘it has not proven helpful elsewhere’ !
... a very expensive way to generate quite unreliable electricity.

Wind plants are not the panacea for lower carbon dioxide emissions because traditional backup is needed due to wind’s inability to produce constant, reliable power and the electricity cannot be stored; in fact, they may cause more carbon dioxide emissions. In the last three decades, no conventional power plant in Europe has been closed because of wind energy production. In deed, more conventional plants have been built to counter the disruptions!
