his own property prices due to a neighbouring wind-farm (and appears to have even been lobbying the NSW government about it).
A quick search of his other statements regarding wind-farms show he also considers them to be a health-risk: so that's not only climate-science but medical-science he now denies
As for the article it contains a mixture of out-of-context anecdotes and sweeping generalisations. There are plenty of worthwhile arguments both for
and against all forms of renewable energy but few if any have come from Maurice Newman.
Of course The Australian could bring us the views of any number of real experts but it must think it's on a winner as a 'campaigning newspaper' despite losing an estimated $30m a year and having not made a profit since 2007 - good to see it supports the free-market eh?
