MILTON KEYNES WIND FARM

Welcome from BREES!

Bucks Renewable Energy & Environmental Society

Milton Keynes District Council has approved the wind farm!! We would like to thank everyone who joined us with their support – and to the Councillors of Milton Keynes Council for giving it the go-ahead.

If you’ve enjoyed making a difference with the MK Windfarm, how about carrying on campaigning for change with MK Friends of the Earth. The group is really active in the local area, and they need new members to keep up the pressure on wind power, transport and energy campaigns.

Email the Milton Keynes group at Andrew.lockley at gmail.com (replace the ‘at’ with an @)

If you’re visiting from outside the Milton Keynes area – find out how to contact your local group by visiting: Friends of the Earth: www.foe.co.uk/campaigns/local_groups_and_campaigns/find_group.html Greenpeace: www.greenpeaceactive.org.uk/groupmain.php

Why do you support this wind farm? (Write as much or as little as you like about your personal reasons for support)* :
Expand on your reasons here if you want : (Here's some more details of why you might support the project. Feel free to edit if you like)	We need to do something now to help combat the damaging effects of climate change. We need to take on the responsibility of producing renewable energy, as well as cutting down on usage. The use of wind energy will help to meet our countrys renewable energy targets and the proposal for a wind farm near Emberton will answer that need locally. The 7 wind turbines would generate electricity for up to 9,000 households. With many thanks in anticipation of your support

Climate Change - the time for action.

Many people, including the vast majority of the world's leading climatologists, believe that global warming is the greatest threat to our planet. There is also general agreement that the cause of this is the level of CO₂ in the atmosphere. This is because it is now at a far higher level than it has been for at least 600,000 years. Unless something is done, there will be serious adverse effects on the environment in every way... including the landscape!

It is time for action!

Onshore wind energy has an important role to play in helping to reduce CO₂ emissions. It is currently one of the most cost effective sources of providing renewable energy.

Recent surveys has show that around 80% of local people support wind farm proposals!
