This video is worth watching to savor the scandalous ignorance of a couple of public health physicians who thought they could mollify and patronize people suffering from WTS. Both docs were rightfully crucified by the mad-as-hell audience. The meeting was billed as a “health forum.” In point of fact it was a farce and an insult.

“Mr Kavanagh raised the issue in parliament on September 2, after meeting with several Waubra residents who claim [claim? Interesting word to use—Editor] the towers have caused headaches, nausea and sleep deprivation since they began operating in June. “I did a tour of Waubra in late August and people there are very upset about the wind farm,” Mr Kavanagh said. “Most of them were fairly happy to go along with the turbines before they were installed, but now I know of one family who won’t live in their house. It certainly isn’t an isolated incident.”

Kay Armstrong lives on the north shore of Lake Erie, with a sprinkling of 1.65 MW Vestas turbines nearby. She’s a 54-year-old, formerly very fit woman, as you will see when you read the following.
She’s “fit” no more. I have presented her emails in a kind of stream of consciousness manner. Begin at the top and read on—Editor.

“My entire house was vibrating along with all the contents—including me. I tried to lie down and sleep a few times, but got jolted awake with a full body twitch each time. My skull was resonating to the extent that I became swimmingly dizzy, even just sitting, with sharp pains developing in my head. I was nauseous, I was aware of my insides trembling. . . . I could feel my fingers tingling with the vibrations. My eyes started to blur, an indication of oscillating eyeballs. The only alternative was to get out, and I did so in tears. With all of this, I couldn’t really ‘hear’ anything except the low droning hum that I have described to you in other reports over the summer.

“Noise from a proposed wind farm in the Turitea Valley will have no impact on the health of nearby residents,” says Dr. David Black, a physician at the University of Auckland School of Medicine, according to an article in The Dominion Post. “Residents would adapt to noise from the wind farm, just as people living near a motorway got used to traffic noise, and [Dr. Black went on to say] there was no evidence to suggest it was harmful to residents’ health.
“How close is too close? If you go with a wind developer’s recommendations, 500 feet from your home is not considered too close. If you go with the National Academy of Sciences, the Congressional Research Service, The World Health Organization, the peer-reviewed study of wind farm residents by Dr. Nina Pierpont, and Minnesota Department of Health, you’ll get a minimum setback of 2640 feet out to 1.5 miles.

How does one respond to the letter, below? (Click here for the original text.) From Sharon Ward in Texas. About Vibroacoustic Disease (VAD) caused by low frequency noise (LFN) from natural gas compressors. One hundred thirty compressors in her county.
“Our government has taken its information from the wind industry, CanWEA, instead of doing its own homework. In fact, the first name on the first draft of the Green Energy Act, the act that stripped municipalities of any say in wind turbine installations, is OSEA, the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association, made up of mainly wind industry people.

Ontario’s “Chuckleheads of the Environment” first tell the wind developers their turbines can’t exceed a certain noise limit. (Now get ready to wet your pants.) Then they turn around and tell the people going bonkers from turbine noise that the Ministry has, um, no realistic way of measuring (monitoring) turbine noise.
Which means that wind energy in the once reputable Province of Ontario is a free-for-all.
