I WAS dismayed to read James McGrath’s letter (Irish Examiner, November 24) in which he takes issue with Dr Colmán Etchingham who, like myself, disagrees with Tim Cowig’s claims that wind energy is the only option to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels.

I AM conducting research into the effects of industrial wind turbines on humans, wildlife and the environment. I would like to talk to people anywhere in Ireland who have lived near wind turbines.
