“Acoustic energy from wind turbines is capable of resonating houses, effectively turning them into three-dimensional loud speakers”<\/h4>\n

Excerpt, p. 153<\/em>: Further research has shown that the acoustic energy from wind turbines is capable of resonating houses, effectively turning them into three-dimensional loud speakers in which the affected residents are now expected to live.<\/p>\n

The phenomenon of natural resonance combines to produce a cocktail of annoying sounds which not only disturb the peace and tranquility once-enjoyed by the residents, but also stimulate a number of disturbing physiological effects which manifest in the physical symptoms described above.<\/p>\n

In the opinion of the author, backed up by residents\u2019 surveys and scientific measurements and analysis of the noise of turbine farms, these new generating technologies are proving to be a significant detractor for those living within 10 kilometres of them.<\/p>\n

More research is urgently needed to determine the extent of the nuisance effects and what setbacks are required to minimise the negative effects on resident communities.<\/p>\n

The long term medical implications are considerable and need to be researched before any further applications for wind farms are consented.<\/p>\n

Failure to do this, in the opinion of the author, will significantly affect the utilization of this technology and will produce long-term consequences that will be to the detriment of the whole of society.<\/p>\n

\u00bb<\/span> The Waubra wind energy facility is located near Ballarat, in western Victoria, Australia. It is the largest operating wind facility in the southern hemisphere consisting of 128-1.5 megawatt turbines for a total installed capacity of 192 megawatts. The turbines were first turned on in February 2009; the facility was fully operational by July 2009.<\/p>\n
