THE Victorian Government carrying through with its anti-wind farm plans demonstrates a disgraceful double standard. At Bacchus Marsh, just 50km from Melbourne, we are looking down the barrel of a horrible eyesore--the Mantle Mining open-cut coal mine. The health effects of coal are known and documented, and this proposed coal mine does not give the many residents living within 2km the right to say no and veto the project. Do we really prefer our landscapes to be scattered with coal mines instead of wind farms? Deb Porter, Bacchus Marsh
