TasWind King Island Wind Farm
This page attempts to give the facts about the proposed wind farm and to
correct some of the misinformation that has been published in various places.
Near my home, in Mid North South Australia and the towns Snowtown, Hallett
and Waterloo, is a triangle of land, about 80km on each side, not greatly
larger than King Island, in which there are 279 operating utility-scale wind
turbines, with 90 more under construction, spread over seven wind farms.
This comprises about half the wind power in South Australia and near a
quarter of the wind power in Australia.
In and near this area there are, at most, five or ten people who are both
strongly opposed to wind turbines and vocal; the vast majority of the local
people are almost oblivious to the turbines.
The most notable exceptions would be those many, but non-vocal, people who
have benefited from the wind farms.

This is a work in progress |
I, David Clarke, the author of these pages, have no financial connection to
any wind farm proponents.
Where further evidence is needed to support statements I have made on this
page I have provided links.
