  • THE CASE AGAINST WINDFARMS Country Guardian Has Been Researching the Impact of Windfarms on the Environment Since Its Formation in 1992
    1 THE CASE AGAINST WINDFARMS Country Guardian has been researching the impact of windfarms on the environment since its formation in 1992. Its research document "The Case Against Windfarms" is detailed and runs to about 20 A4 pages. Most recently updated in May 2000 it is printed below, preceded by a statement of Country Guardian's Policy on Windfarms. You can use the Index on the left to go straight to a specific section, or read it straight through, or download it A. THE CASE FOR WIND "FARMS" EXAMINED B. THE SCALE OF DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED C. THE PROBLEM OF INTERMITTENCY D. LANDSCAPE QUALITY OF WIND "FARM" SITES E. BEAUTIES OR BEASTS? F. WIND TURBINES OFFSHORE? G. THE NOISE FACTOR H. TELEVISION INTERFERENCE I. WIDER ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES J. SAFETY K. TOURISM, JOBS, HOUSE PRICES L. THE EFFECT ON BIRDS M. PUBLIC OPINION N. WHY THE NEW PHENOMENON OF WINDFARMS? O. GOVERNMENT POLICY P. EUROPEAN UNION POLICY Q. KYOTO R. WIND 'FARMS' AND THE PLANNING SYSTEM S. THE FUTILITY OF SUPPLY-SIDE SOLUTIONS T. HOW CAN ELECTRICITY NEEDS BE MET? U. THE VALUE OF LANDSCAPE V. CONCLUSION Country Guardian's Policy on Windfarms Country Guardian believes that the development of commercial wind power that has taken place with government support since 1990 is misguided, ineffective and neither environmentally nor socially benign. We accept that wind energy has a role and that the countryside has always changed and will always change but we argue that the environmental and social cost of the development of commercial wind energy is quite out of proportion to any benefit in the form of reduced emissions.

Comparing the positive vote of the Welsh and the negative vote of the North shows how the governing party – the Labour Party which has also been historically dominant in each of these regions – contributed to the contrasting outcome. Our argument is that dominant parties impact both in their formal (structural, institutional) and non-formal (cultural, identity) aspects.

  • Is the Current FIFA Regulation Equally Fair for Players and Clubs?1, 2
    PM World Journal Is the current FIFA regulation equally fair Vol. VIII, Issue I – January 2019 for players and clubs? www.pmworldjournal.net Student Paper by Anta Diop Is the current FIFA regulation equally fair for players and clubs?1, 2 Anta Diop ABSTRACT Underneath the sport aspect of football and the well-known FIFA competitions like the Football Worldcup or the UEFA Champions League, lays another aspect which we could call the « business » aspect of Football. Indeed, the football world is one of competition and rivalry as the clubs are continuously in a race to get the best players in the transfer market. In this world, most of the relationships are governed by contracts, which leads to disputes in case of disagreements. Disputes are particularly frequent between a club and a player because of contract termination linked with an injury or negative results in a medical examination. Therefore, the FIFA regulation includes several clauses to protect both parties from breach of contract. However, some still argue that FIFA’s regulation benefits the players more than the clubs. To identify what would be the potential other alternatives to deal with disputes in football and understand which alternative is the best one, we will use several methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis and comparison in this paper. The results of this analysis show us that the current regulation actually protects both clubs and players equally and that keeping the regulation as it is now is the best alternative. Keywords: contracts, disputes, football, FIFA, dispute resolution, RSTP, breach of contract INTRODUCTION A few months ago, on July 15th 2018, France won the Football Worldcup.
