I was somewhat amused at Rosa’s comment regarding Dr Wills (Lacks the balls; SN 24/11/12).

What is much more relevant is Dr Wills’ lack of scientific integrity with regard to his comments regarding turbine noise.

As a scenically trained person (I think), he must be aware peer reviewed studies of turbine noise are available now, with further research in the pipeline.

These results are conclusive and open to public scrutiny.

The fact he and VE do not like their conclusions does not excuse his purile behaviour and frequent disingenuous statements.

For all of our sakes Jonathan, grow up!

At the rate VE is going we will probably, both of us, die of old age before VE produces any power, if it ever does!
