From Envirowiki

Jump to: navigation, search

These astroturf lobby groups have "links to prominent climate change deniers and the British nuclear industry"[1]and have a history of anti-wind farm wind farms activities in Gippsland, McHarg Ranges (near Toboorac) and Wilsons Promontory Victoria "including making misleading statements about wind energy"[1]. McHarg Ranges Landscape Guardians president, John Howard has been mentioned in the press articles below. Spokesman for Coastal Guardians of Victoria, Tim Le Roy is also mentioned. The Landscape or Coastal Guardians "relies heavily for its information and tactics on the British anti-wind farm pressure group Country Guardians. That group was set up by Sir Bernard Ingham, press secretary to Margaret Thatcher when she was prime minister. Sir Bernard is now a director of Supporters of Nuclear Energy, and a former consultant to British Nuclear Fuels"[1].

[edit] Other linked groups

There is some speculation that the RATs of Tooborac are linked to the landscape guardians.
