Reports & Critiques

This section contains material including government funded reports, wind industry funded research and some academic research, which we consider to be compromised, either ideologically, politically or financially, or to be so incomplete or misleading that the reports and research misrepresent the known science in significant ways.

Critiques of the documents where available are also listed in the same section, to improve access. The material is arranged in chronological order, with the most recent at the end. We welcome further suggestions for material to include here.
