Government’s Wind Industry Protection Racket: Wind Farm Noise ‘Rules’ A Sick Joke
Around the world, pliant governments allowed the wind industry to create utterly meaningless wind turbine noise ‘rules’ that allow wind power outfits to get away with murder.

Sick Again: Wind Turbine Infrasound Delivers Daily Torment to Wind Farm Neighbours
The wind industry doesn’t simply cause grid and power market chaos, it’s a guaranteed community wrecker, too. 300 tonne monsters set on 100 metre towers with 50-60 m blades (the outer tips of which are travelling at over 350 Kph) deliver a thumping, pulsing cacophony of low-frequency noise and infrasound, that drives neighbours nuts or … Continue reading Sick Again: Wind Turbine Infrasound Delivers Daily Torment to Wind Farm Neighbours
