Another nuisance is about to be foisted upon the ordinary citizen. Wonky politicians and business people seem to get all exited about the idea of Air Taxis zooming around above our heads. Basically their are a new version of helicopters that are already (ab)used by the SuperRich. Has anyone in authority asked the citizens affected about their views? Noise pollution will rise for sure, and who sets a limit on their use?

Air Taxis to take off? - what about the Noise?
Wind Turbines near you? - Direct Democracy gives you the ultimate say
Plastering the countryside with Wind Turbines may be profitable to land owners and the companies that put them up. But preserving the natural beauty of the countryside which existed for Millenia seems to have fallen by the wayside in the obsession about Climate Change. So DD would give those affected, i.e. all those living in the area from where the turbines can be seen, the ultimate say on whether or not they are allowed to be constructed.

March of the giant wind turbines
You may be for or against wind turbines but their installation must be subject to tight democratic controls. When whole regions are about to be disfigured by monumental structures that can be seen for tens of miles in some instances the decision about their construction cannot be left in the hands or anonymous bureaucrats and pressure groups that are accountable to no one.
