This isn't a newspaper letter or article but a very upsetting e-mail that I received today from a young lady living in west Wales.
Previously, I have personally met the young lady who wrote this and as such I have nothing but sheer admiration of her courage to make this public announcement. I realise that my personal feelings will not help her circumstances but this only proves beyond doubt what we all knew and feared, even though the BWEA completely deny it.
I am sure that you will all sympathise with and also thank this young lady and her family, for her brave announcement.

Further to her e-mail the same young lady provided the two following internet web-links.
If you haven't already got the "Real Player" software installed on your PC, you will need to install it to hear both of these audio reports from the Great Lakes Radio Consortium in the USA.
A free download for the software is available on each web-site.

If you don't like the sound of wind turbines - be warned!
