Family sues wind farm alleging health damage, falling property value

http://www.thestar.com/business/compani ... erty-value

$1:

The closest turbine is 1.1 kilometre away, but the Michauds say a “tunnel effect” from the row of turbines stretching into the distance compounds the impact on their property.
...
Michel Michaud says the turbines also affect his ability to concentrate, causing him to make mistakes at work.

The wind turbines caused the HIV epidemic too!

There are apparently a couple of doctors that disagree with you.

Wind turbine syndrome.. Really?

Wind gets clean bill of health

$1:

The most thorough study to date into the potential health effects of living near wind turbines says the evidence so far is clear: they don't directly make people sick.
...
New Ontario rules require all wind turbines to be set back at least 550 metres from the nearest residence to assure noise levels do not exceed 40 decibels. That's less than the noise that comes from light car traffic on a residential street, but some say it's not enough.
...
Symptoms from what some call "wind turbine syndrome" are no different than symptoms observed in the general population from the day-to-day stresses of life. These symptoms include headaches, insomnia, anxiety, dizziness, and ringing in the ears.

You have a problem with climate change science, but this is something you believe in because "a couple doctors" wrote some stuff on the internet?

Oh... you're a doctor now?



By the way, where did I say I had a problem with climate change science?

I am not terribly impressed by Pierpont. That presentation is 51/2 years old and she followed it with a book in 2009. However, there is no evidence at all to support her beliefs.

There are a couple of links embedded in this Government of Australia site. One comment in one of them notes that there are fewer complaints in places where the residents benefit economically from the Turbines.

I tend to think that the Wind Turbine Syndrome is properly described as mass hysteria, as some commentators have done.

I am open to change that opinion but, as yet, there has been no medical or scientific confirmation that the syndrome exists.

Well, I'm no doctor. However, if there are some qualified doctors out there that think there might be something to this, then maybe it needs a deeper look.
