Trouble with Wind Turbines

Green energy at what cost?
Wind turbine blades moving 180 mph, air pressure, sound, vibration and disturbance, extremely low frequency sounds (ELF), breathing and digestive problems, fields of wafing sound waves; all symptoms that make people expendable in the name of green energy.

The turbine blades move at 180 miles per hour.  This creates sound, vibration and disturbance in air pressure. Infrasound -- sounds at such extremely low frequency (ELF) that they can't be picked up by the human ear but can carry through the atmosphere for thousands of kilometers -- is believed to cause certain breathing and digestive problems [source: Infrasound Lab]. What effect does this huge field of wafing sound waves have on humans, birds, wildlife? 

Rural Ontario residents say the government has made them expendable in the name of green energy.

Caution to the wind: Trouble with wind turbines

The Canadian government is thrilled to have implemented the largest Canadian green energy producing farm, 133 wind turbines, a field of rotating blades, enough to generate power for 52,000 homes.  Each turbine blade, 45 meters in length, is the size of a 737 airplane's wingspan.  Hoping to close a coal burning plant by 2014, this Canadian contribution to effecting climate change is great.

Wind power companies erect wind turbines by leasing property.  These leases pay $9,000-$14,000 per year.

Opposition to wind farms is growing. Critics want tougher rules governing how close turbines may be built to people's homes. Some provinces set noise limits. And in Ontario, that usually means municipalities require turbines be 400 meters away. That's three times closer than the buffer zone being recommended by health experts at France's National Academy of Medicine.
