Editor’s note<\/em>: \u00a0Click here<\/a> for a copy of this astonishing letter, dated (we are told) October 8, 2013.<\/p>\n

We dedicate the letter to the UK’s\u00a0Geoff “If-you-can’t-hear-it, it-won’t-hurt-you” Leventhall<\/a>\u00a0(physicist with zero clinical credentials), Australia’s\u00a0Simon “Nocebo-Effect” Chapman<\/a> (a sociologist, likewise zero clinical credentials), and America’s busy busy\u00a0Robert McCunney, MD<\/a>, winner of this site’s celebrated Rubber Duck Award.<\/p>\n

Dear Chairman Weinard,<\/p>\n

My name is Bill Mulvaney and I am the Superintendent of Schools for Armstrong\u00a0Township High School and Armstrong-Ellis CUD #61. I also served on the wind panel\u00a0that met to try and give direction to the county board on wind turbine ordinances. Our\u00a0panel did not come up with any recommended changes, but I would like to share a few\u00a0thoughts with you.<\/p>\n

I have noticed that we have some children in our district that appear to be having some\u00a0medical issues related to the wind turbines. Headaches, lack of sleep and jaw issues seem\u00a0to be the most common. The students also complain about not being able to sleep or not\u00a0getting a full night’s sleep due to sound issues.<\/p>\n

We have also been advised that we will be losing a couple of families because the wind\u00a0turbines were placed close to homes and the families can no longer handle the flicker and\u00a0noise issues.<\/p>\n

While these issues were brought up at our panel discussions, I was not fully aware of the\u00a0impact that the wind turbines would have to my school districts. It is never a good thing\u00a0when children have health issues or families have to leave their homes to get away from\u00a0the turbines. The revenue generated by the turbines is a blessing to our schools, but the\u00a0unintended consequences are real.<\/p>\n

I hope this letter sheds some light on real issues that affect districts that house wind\u00a0farms. I also hope that when ordinances are discussed in the future, that these issues are considered.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
