I support sustainability and the governments commitment to the Kyoto protocol.

Meridian Energy are proposing 31 wind turbines (approx three times higher than the Brooklyn one), as close at 1.2 kms to homes. Safe/free/green energy?

 

 I am in the dark thanks to a complete lack of co-operation from SOE Meridian Energy!

 

They had committed ( through their literature) to inform our community enabling us to help shape their proposal for Resource Consent.  I was eager to help but needed more information on: Noise, health impacts, roading/traffic details, turbine specifications, environmental effects and construction details. I just wanted to be informed so I could comment! This I am sure seems a reasonable request of a SOE. 

 

Despite a number of requests I still don’t have that information. I have asked three times………silence…

 

Meridian have confirmed that they have this informttion but will not share it with the community until after Resource Consent has been applied for.  So much for giving input beforehand! Will I object? Who is to say? I simply don’t have enough information!!

  

This SOE seems to have forgotten it’s social responsibility!
