“The Global Wind Industry and Adverse Health Effects: A Symposium<\/a>.\u201d \u00a0To be held in Picton, Ontario, Canada, October 29-31, 2010.<\/h4>\n

This should be a required event for all public officials, the majority of whom are caught up in the “green mania” of the times, and are mindlessly promoting what they consider to be clean, green wind energy. They do this to the detriment of the health and well\u00a0being of those exposed to industrial sized wind turbines with inadequete setbacks.<\/p>\n

I speak from bitter experience. I, too, was “green” at one time. No more. I now live 1662 feet from Falmouth’s turbine #1. Before the turbine was built, I was very much concerned about the potential noise (knowing my sensitivities), but after going on the Falmouth Energy tour and visiting the wind turbine in Hull, MA, my fears were put to rest.<\/p>\n

Little did I realize that:<\/p>\n

1) the Hull turbine is a much smaller and quieter\u00a0model
\n2) turbine noise is often louder 1000 feet or more away than directly under the machine
\n3) the Hull turbine was on an ocean\u00a0peninsula nearly surrounded by ocean waves (noise)
\n4) the Logan Airport has jets going over Hull nearly continuously (the\u00a0photos I took of the turbine that day all have jets in them)
\n5) Hull is the noisiest town in Massachusetts. \u00a0The people there are\u00a0too busy complaining about Logan Airport to hear their turbine.<\/p>\n

I was fooled.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, while Falmouth’s WIND #1 was being built, I was still “green.” Once it went into operation, I \u00a0attempted to get used to it for at\u00a0least a month\u2014but the sound was\/is unbearable.<\/p>\n

It was then that I began searching for information on wind technology and\u00a0turbine effects, and I have come full circle to believe that the US is completely off track with promoting wind energy. I believe\u00a0it is a farce, and presently the biggest fraud in America. It will never lower our dependence on foreign oil nor will it\u00a0replace CO2<\/sub> emitting power plants. Open up and use your mind. Do your homework. Study the issue for yourself.<\/p>\n

You decide. But get some education.\u00a0Information at The Society for Wind Vigilance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
