"For four years, a handful of farmers in the district hid a secret that not even a weekly drinks session or years of friendship could drag out. They had covertly opened up their farm gate to wind farm developers, lured by the cash offer of $15,000 for every wind turbine dug into their property — unbeknownst to the mate across … Continue reading What price do you put on friendship?

Wind turbine syndrome – an inconvenient truth
"Based on my recent experiences and interactions with such affected individuals, I am satisfied that this WTS condition is real. This conclusion of mine is based upon both hearing the stories of affected individuals and being aware of and having access to the limited yet growing scientific body of evidence highlighting this deleterious syndrome. This … Continue reading Wind turbine syndrome – an inconvenient truth
I am a wind turbine host
Comment posted on STT, 17 February, 2003 I am a wind turbine host from South Australia and read the NSW Farmers Association guide. I was horrified and wondered if the organisation had been bought out by the wind industry. Incidentally, I have recently had an acoustic monitoring of the inside of our home over a … Continue reading I am a wind turbine host
‘It’s like cigarettes in the 1950s …’
Ballarat-based sleep specialist Dr Wayne Spring first spoke on wind turbine sickness 18 months ago, comparing it to cigarette smoking's connection to cancer back in the 1950s. As reported in The Courier, Dr Spring said he had been treating patients living near the Waubra and Hepburn wind farms. “Research needs to be done into the … Continue reading ‘It’s like cigarettes in the 1950s …’
A voice from the wilderness of Macarthur wind farm

"We’ve had enough !!!!!! The last three nights … Continue reading A voice from the wilderness of Macarthur wind farm
These people knew – and did nothing
Remember these faces. Burn them into your memory. Long after the Royal Commission (we're certain there will be one*), long after the books and documentaries and newspaper articles, long after the PhD theses, remember one thing. These people knew. They were told. And they did nothing. They chose to ignore that an industry was receiving … Continue reading These people knew – and did nothing
This has been going on since 2004
It took the wind industry a while to wake up, but when it did, it turned on Dr Sarah Laurie with all the viciousness of a prison dog. Let us give you some examples. Laurie is director of that "malign, shadowy creature", the Waubra Foundation. Her claims are based on questionable investigations. She is not … Continue reading This has been going on since 2004
Yet another study linking wind turbines and infrasound
'We believe there is evidence of symptoms in patients exposed to wind turbine noise, but some maintain that the effects of Wind Turbine Syndrome are just examples of the well-known stress effects of exposure to noise. 'However, there is an increasing body of evidence to suggest that there are physiological effects of infrasound and low … Continue reading Yet another study linking wind turbines and infrasound
Safety, health and public welfare
"I have never investigated a noise problem where the public has been so vocal about ruined lives and home abandonment. Why are neighbors complaining about industrial wind turbines? Why are regulatory agencies unable to protect public health and wellbeing? "I recommend that anyone who thinks wind turbines are good acoustic neighbors to do what I … Continue reading Safety, health and public welfare
Another doctor speaks out
"The old saw that a doctor’s best teacher is his patient is true and obviously applicable here. "From a purely clinical perspective I believe the acoustic trauma produced by large wind turbines is real and significant." Written testimony presented January 31, 2013, to the Vermont Senate Natural Resources Committee concerning S.30, a bill to establish … Continue reading Another doctor speaks out
