YouTube – Windfall – Official Trailer

I’m looking forward to seeing this film, “Windfall” at the Green Screenings in Amsterdam soon. However, I hope this film will not be used as way to say a categorical “no” to wind energy. Moreover, instead of showing that wind is not a good energy source, on the contrary, it shows very clearly that if we want to harness the power of the wind (and we NEED to!) then developers must genuinely engage affected stakeholders to hear and deal with their concerns. Otherwise everyone will get their backs up against wind energy power, and as a society we’ll end up saying “yes” to more coal, oil and nuclear energy. Wind developers please note – the Earth can’t afford for you to develop wind in the wrong way in the wrong places! Please engage in a responsible, sustainable way positively!
