About STINC

We represent a growing number of local people who are seriously worried about the new wind developments currently being proposed for Davidstow, Hendraburnick, Otterham and the repowering of Delabole and are committed to stopping the construction of these and any further wind farms in North Cornwall. 

The group was formed at a public meeting of about 200 residents on 13th August 2007 at Clease Hall, Camelford. All of the committee members are local residents and are working for the group as volunteers. 

At first the proposal for the turbines at Davidstow Moor was the most pressing concern for most people, however we quickly learned from wind farm proliferation in other parts of the country, especially Scotland, that this area is extremely vunerable to pressure from wind energy companies. So even if we did prevent the development on Davidstow Moor there is nothing stopping the another windfarm company re-applying in the future, and we could also be hit by a new proposal for a new site a couple of miles down the road. Bodmin Moor is not a national park and so has no protection from these threats. 

This website is designed to inform the general public of the many untruths and misleading statements that the major wind power companies (and the Government) make about these windfarms.

This includes just how much power windmills actually generate, what the ecological and natural cost of erecting the monoliths really is, how our children are being fed misinformation at school, and more.

So please join us in the fight to save our countryside from a new type of industrial revolution - one that makes money for the large corporations at the expense of our land, our scenery and our lives; yet one we are told will change our lives for the better.

None of us are against renewable energy sources or reducing carbon emissions, but we don't want it to be done in a way that destroys our countryside and wildlife whilst lining the pockets of faceless people in offices, miles away from here, who won't have to live with the damage and consequences of these machines.

STINC needs more active members to join the team. If you are able to offer any help at all, please contact our secretary at kickup@stinc.co.uk or call - 01840 214942

Thank you for your support.
