One of them less than 1000' from my HOUSE. We are closely surrounded by four and see 55 of the 88 from the first floor of our home. Until you live with these monsters you couldn't possible understand how devastating to your life they can be. The Power Companies claim the turbines are no louder than a refrigerator at 900' Believe me if you had a refrigerator that woke you up and kept you up several times a week, you would trade it in for a more energy efficient model. SLEEP DISTURBANCE, SHADOW FLICKER, CONSTANT SOUND OF A PLANE OVER YOUR HOUSE, A PLANE THAT NEVER LANDS. CAN'T GO OUTSIDE WHEN THE FLICKER IS COVERING YOUR PROPERTY, YOU HAVE TO PULL ALL THE SHADES AND HIDE IN THE DARK HOUSE, OR WASTE ELECTRICITY TO TURN ON LIGHTS IN THE DAY TIME. FLICKER LITERALLY WILL MAKE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH. I an not against wind power but the improper placement of the turbines here in Wisconsin. I DO SERIOUSLY WORRY OVER THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF LIVING IN THE SHADOWS OF THESE THINGS My family resides in the Blue Sky Green Field industrial wind complex. 88 turbines 400′ tall.

According to this web log page, Wind Turbines actually give you spots – in this case lesions.

And I thought I was being clever funny. Poor lady.

The Independent, The Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph and The Belfast Telegraph are printing the same piece (unverified by any third parties) by a New York pediatrician who has set herself up as an “expert” on wind with her own vanity press. Nina Pierpont thinks “Wind Turbine Syndrome” can cause abnormal heart beats, sleep disturbance, headaches, tinnitus, nausea, visual blurring, panic attacks migraines, sleep deprivation, and general irritability. And it is fine that a pediatrician, like anyone else, has an opinion, but that doesn’t make this science. Pierpont is claiming that her book is peer-reviewed (by other pediatricians, I assume?) which is not true. Other pediatricians (who are doctors for children) have not “peer-reviewed” her work.

The solution is not anti-wind, only recommending greater setbacks from homes.

Has she actually got it into a peer reviewed scientific journal? If so we are left guessing which one.

Its great that you are countering all of the dis-information and claptrap that gets spouted. I cant believe all those who dislike wind turbines, would they rather have a coal powered plant in their backgarden? I know which I would prefer! A blot on the landscape? I dont think so, I think they are beatiful and a marval of modern engineering. I often stop the car when travelling to take a look at wind farms if we pass by one (drives the wife and kids mad). I wish I had better writing skills so I could 'do my bit', I run a website about loft conversions, not really related to 'being green' but there is always the insulation and energy efficiency side to it. [...] I've bookmarked your site so I can take a look at your previous posts when I get more time. Good on you and thanks for such a great site! Hi Jo,
