Josh writes:’Subsidy Sam’ is a children’s story written by Lyndsey Ward to counter the shameless pro-wind propaganda allowed in schools. Lyndsey asked me to help out with a cartoon and I was only too happy to oblige. Today ‘Subsidy Sam’ made it into The Press and Journal, a Scottish newspaper – see below.
You can read the whole story on the Wind Energy’s Absurd Facebook page and, as Lyndsey suggests, please do post/share/Tweet/Facebook as much as you can. I will update with a link to the online version when it becomes available.
Here is the cartoon on its own should you need it.
Yesterday I drove the length of Holland, from Groeningen in the far north down south into Belgium. There is an astonishing number of wind turbines in the north of the country. For the first half if the journey there was scarcely a moment when I could not see one or more turbines. Along the coast there were arrays of hundreds of them.
Years ago when I learned to fly a light plane (Cessna 152) abig part of training was trying to find a safe place to make an emergency landing in case of engine failure. Wind turbines make this impossible in such places as north Holland.
Nice cartoon and a wonderful way to pushback. I believe an entire counter children’s literature on all the variety of propaganda interfering with education of children would be a natural progression of how to deal with this. Maybe you could add an “Angry Bird” standing on the nose of SSam and staring into his eyes.
