To put it in a nutshell:<\/p>\n

We moved into and enjoyed our new house (Scansano, Italy) for exactly 4 weeks—until the newly erected 121m wind turbines (10 of them, the nearest 800-900m from the house) started operating.<\/p>\n

I quickly developed the following symptoms, with which I’d never been troubled before:<\/p>\n

\u00bb <\/span>insomnia
\n\u00bb<\/span> panic attacks at all times of the day and night
\n\u00bb<\/span> nausea
\n\u00bb<\/span> tinnitus
\n\u00bb<\/span> depression
\n\u00bb<\/span> loss of concentration<\/p>\n

Coupled with this, I heard a strange humming or buzzing noise in my house, loud enough to be extremely distressing and also perceived by visitors.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t enjoy a peaceful evening outside on my terrace and I couldn’t invite friends or relatives for this reason.<\/p>\n

I became paranoid about returning home after a day’s work because I knew I would not be able to rest.<\/p>\n

After a year of keeping a diary of the daily horror (published 2008 on www.wind-watch.org) and spending extended periods away from home to recuperate, we moved out for good—abandoning the work of a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Our house is unsaleable, our old age “pension” worthless.<\/p>\n
