Editor’s note<\/em>: \u00a0The following passage is excerpted from a report to the State of Mass. by Lilli Green, a documentary filmmaker living in Wellfleet, MA. \u00a0(Click here<\/a> for her full report.)<\/p>\n

Lilli’s report is a lengthy and impassioned rebuttal to the Mass.\u00a0\u201cWind Turbine Health Impact Study: Report of Independent Expert Panel<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I personally have conducted videotaped interviews with people living in the\u00a0Makara Valley, NZ. I have provided to the panel members through MA Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) a documentary film I created from these interviews, as well as other\u00a0interviews with victims living too close to wind turbines, industrial refugees\u00a0(those who have had to flee from their homes because their health is so\u00a0compromised by living too close to wind turbines) and experts in New\u00a0Zealand studying these issues.<\/p>\n

I traveled to these countries, spent my time\u00a0and resources, edited the footage, and worked with others to post the film\u00a0online in order to bring back information so that MA could make informed\u00a0decisions. The citizens of MA are not alone; people on the other side of the\u00a0globe experience the same symptoms as they do.<\/p>\n

I provided a DVD of the film Pandora\u2019s Pinwheels: The Reality of Living\u00a0with Wind Turbines<\/a> to MA DEP. I have also provided the online link to MA\u00a0DEP and the panel members.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here you will see the victims of the industrial wind power plant\u2014the wind\u00a0turbines in the Makara Valley, NZ\u2014describe their symptoms. These are\u00a0some of the very people who are part of the NZ study. Please pay attention\u00a0to how they describe sleep deprivation.<\/p>\n

Pay attention to the nurse\/midwife\u00a0and Senior Lecturer at a Wellington (NZ) university who describes the\u00a0vibrations from the turbines and how she has chronic sleep deprivation. It is\u00a0the noise, though not audible noise, which wakes her up. It is like a sensation, a\u00a0vibration, she can feel. Take her up on her offer; go and “share her bed” with\u00a0her.<\/p>\n

Others in the Makara Valley have offered for you to go and live in their\u00a0homes for three months. LIve the life they live. The point is their lives have\u00a0been ruined because there are wind turbines sited too close to people.<\/p>\n

These people are very ill. They experience a whole host of symptoms that\u00a0Nina Pierpont, MD, PhD describes as Wind Turbine Syndrome. The\u00a0following symptoms have been described to me on videotape by the people\u00a0in the Makara Valley:<\/p>\n

Sleep disturbance and deprivation, headache,\u00a0tinnitus (ringing in ears), ear pressure, dizziness, vertigo (spinning\u00a0dizziness), nausea, visual blurring, tachycardia (fast heart rate), irritability,\u00a0problems with concentration and memory, and panic episodes associated\u00a0with sensations of movement or quivering.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have visited these people twice. I visited in January 2011\u00a0and also 12 months later in January 2012. The findings show that no\u00a0person we interviewed in January 2011 has gotten better if they\u00a0continued to live in the Makara Valley. The industrial refugees, those who\u00a0have abandoned their homes (they have not been able to sell them), feel\u00a0better because they no longer live there.<\/p>\n

There are people whom we interviewed in January 2011 who were\u00a0determined to stay. Now these people have either abandoned their homes,\u00a0have their homes on the market, or leave their homes every weekend to\u00a0get relief, or go away for weeks at a time to get relief\u2014and they plan to\u00a0move.<\/p>\n
