Renewable Energy Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Renewable Energy Foundation (REF) (founded 2004) is a United Kingdom based lobby group whose main activity is campaigning against wind turbines. The group funds reports which typically show renewable energy technologies to have inferior performance, be expensive, or unreliable, and advocate abandoning existing public support schemes for renewables.
According to the Guardian (July 15, 2004), REF is backed by ‘anonymous wealthy individuals and hopes to gather the 80 or so groups opposing wind farms around the country’.[1]
