The University of Wales Swansea - Renewable Energy Project (web site)
An innovative development in Sustainable Renewable Energy developed by the Engineering Department of the University of Wales, Swansea, which has gained industrial partners, and some indirect backing from the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG). One would think that the WAG would be extremely interested in getting this development up and running, considering it's a home grown solution from the University of Wales, Swansea, and the WAG's determination in the development of Renewable Energy. This project is something that the WAG could crow about from the roof-tops if this development did become a world leading Renewable Energy Technology from Wales.

'We Know Where You Live' Part II by Herbert Inhaber
Thanks to Jan Moseley's vigilance, part II of the BWEA's threat to the 7 anti-wind power campaigners has resurfaced. In an e-mail, Jan says:"Mal,
A student from Cambridge who I have been in touch with since meeting him at the Saddleworth Anti-wind Turbine Conference managed to dig this reference out and used it in his dissertation. I had'nt seen this particular one before. Jan"
We Know Where You Live Part II A web link to "Tech Central Station - Where Free Markets Meet Technology" With additional web links on that web page to the original BWEA slides in which the 7 anti-wind power campaigners are named, together with the 'We Know Where You Live' threat. Plus the BWEA "twist" by adding the term NIMBY and using the Country Guardian logo on their slides of Country Guardian's 'Disclaimer' and renaming it "The Real Country Guardian."
