Over the last decade, the wind industry has ridden roughshod over the rights of law-abiding citizens to live peacefully in their very own homes. The battle that's followed proves that the value of any right is determined by the beneficiaries’ determination to fight for it. Giant industrial wind turbines deliver a cacophony of pulsing, practically … Continue reading Ontario Fights Back: Farmers Hammered by Wind Turbine Noise Prosecute Environment Minister

Germans Rue Wave of ‘Green’ Destruction: Wind Turbines Driving Critters From Natural Habitats
The wind industry is hypocrisy defined: merrily wrecking the environment under the auspices of ‘saving’ it. Slaughtering millions of birds and bats (and lying about it) is all in a day’s work. In Germany, its eco-zealots are having a harder time than usual, in their dogged efforts to cover up the inevitable environmental destruction … Continue reading Germans Rue Wave of ‘Green’ Destruction: Wind Turbines Driving Critters From Natural Habitats
Beeline to Fury: Korean Farmers Declare War on Wind Power – For Wrecking Communities & Killing Bees
Plenty of fiction is needed to explain away the health effects suffered by humans forced to live with incessant, wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound. Wind industry stooges reckon it must all be in their silly little heads. Except that there’s a veritable menagerie of less imaginative critters stuck next to these things, that … Continue reading Beeline to Fury: Korean Farmers Declare War on Wind Power – For Wrecking Communities & Killing Bees
Battlelines Drawn: Victoria’s Wind Power Push Meets Angry & Disciplined Opposition
It’s often forgotten that the diminutive David slew the gigantic Goliath. Discipline, nerve and strategic resolve is what wins battles. And in Western Victoria, there’s no bigger battle than that brewing between wind power outfits and local community defenders. One of the best of those is retired country lawyer, Tony Edney. He’s the handsome devil … Continue reading Battlelines Drawn: Victoria’s Wind Power Push Meets Angry & Disciplined Opposition
German Researchers Target Effects of Wind Turbine Infrasound on the Heart
The evidence proving the unnecessary damage done to wind farm neighbours by the noise generated by giant industrial wind turbines is mounting by the day: Germany’s Max Planck Institute has identified sub-audible infrasound as the cause of stress, sleep disruption and more (see our post here); and a Swedish group have shown that it’s the pulsing … Continue reading German Researchers Target Effects of Wind Turbine Infrasound on the Heart
Neighbourhood Nuisance: UK Wind Farm Operator Fined £51,000 For Noisy Turbine
Driving neighbours nuts with incessant wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infra-sound is what the wind industry does best. Wind power outfits literally create headaches wherever they ply their subsidy-soaked trade. But, increasingly, people and communities with the temerity to stand up for their rights are doing just that. And winning. Fined £51,000 ... for … Continue reading Neighbourhood Nuisance: UK Wind Farm Operator Fined £51,000 For Noisy Turbine
Victims Vindicated: Wind Turbine Noise Exposure Proven ‘Pathway to Disease’
Last December, Australia’s Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) held that “noise annoyance” caused by wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound “is a plausible pathway to disease”, based on the “established association between noise annoyance and some diseases, including hypertension and cardiovascular disease, possibly mediated in part by disturbed sleep and/or psychological stress/distress.” The AAT also slammed … Continue reading Victims Vindicated: Wind Turbine Noise Exposure Proven ‘Pathway to Disease’
Why Pulsing Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise is so Annoying to Neighbours
Trying to explain the pulsing, rhythmic low-frequency noise generated by wind turbines to someone who hasn’t had to live with it, is like trying to explain a migraine to someone that’s never had a headache. One man who has done more than anybody in Australia to provide an objective explanation as to just why … Continue reading Why Pulsing Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise is so Annoying to Neighbours
South Australian Wind Turbine Noise Study Targets Neurological Effects on Sleep
Government noise regulators have spent 30 years covering up the effects of wind turbine noise on neighbours, and have done so with the help of the wind industry’s pet acoustic consultants: Three Decades of Wind Industry Deception: A Chronology of a Global Conspiracy of Silence and Subterfuge Australia can count its ethical acoustic engineers on one hand. … Continue reading South Australian Wind Turbine Noise Study Targets Neurological Effects on Sleep
Ontario Resident’s Revolt: Wind Farm Neighbours Sue Government to Get Noise Rules Enforced
Corruption and the wind industry go hand in glove. From the outset it’s managed to infiltrate every level of government, using tactics that would make the most malign Mafiosi blush. Renowned for unauthorised facilitation payments (aka ‘bribes’), threats, bullying and aggressive, deep pocketing litigation in order to get its way, one of the key targets … Continue reading Ontario Resident’s Revolt: Wind Farm Neighbours Sue Government to Get Noise Rules Enforced
