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. Giant industrial wind turbines deliver a merciless, thumping, grinding cacophony of daily torment to families forced to live next to them. And if you think pocketing cash in … Continue reading Government’s Wind Industry Protection Racket: Wind Farm Noise ‘Rules’ A Sick Joke

Hush Money: Government Plans to Bribe German Families Complaining About Wind Turbine Noise to Quell Wind Farm Backlash
The wind industry in Germany is in freefall: in 2019 less than 200 turbines were erected onshore and a trifling 160 are planned for 2020, so far. Over the last two decades, heavily subsidised wind power outfits managed to spear almost 30,000 of these things across rural Germany. Driven mad by practically incessant, turbine generated … Continue reading Hush Money: Government Plans to Bribe German Families Complaining About Wind Turbine Noise to Quell Wind Farm Backlash
Vindicated: Supreme Court Slams Developer For Ignoring Wind Turbine Noise Effects on Neighbours
Call it the ‘luck of the Irish’. Over the last few months locals have racked up a string of victories against wind power outfits for all manner of sins, crimes and misdemeanours. In November the Irish government was slammed with a €5 million fine for failing to apply its very own environmental standards at a … Continue reading Vindicated: Supreme Court Slams Developer For Ignoring Wind Turbine Noise Effects on Neighbours
Residents Revolt: South Australia’s Wind Farm Planning Rules ‘Rotten to the Core’
Like Germany, rural South Australia was quickly carpeted with a multitude of these things; like Germany its long-suffering rural residents have had enough noise torment to last a lifetime. In SA (as elsewhere) the so-called ‘noise guidelines’ and planning ‘rules’ were rigged in favour of the wind industry, from the get go. And to … Continue reading Residents Revolt: South Australia’s Wind Farm Planning Rules ‘Rotten to the Core’
Research Breakthrough: Why Pulsing, Thumping Wind Turbine Noise Is So Annoying
Explaining wind turbine noise to someone who’s never lived through it, is like explaining a migraine to someone who’s never had a headache. Measuring, quantifying and objectively describing it is no picnic, either. While the wind industry’s pet acoustic consultants stick to irrelevant measures such as the dB(A) weighting (that removes and therefore fails … Continue reading Research Breakthrough: Why Pulsing, Thumping Wind Turbine Noise Is So Annoying
‘Green’ Energy Guinea Pigs: Why Wind Turbine Noise Victims Suffer Sleep Deprivation & Worse
The German government got caught destroying data showing residents exposed to dangerous levels of wind turbine infrasound. In the USA, wind farm neighbours are exposed to precisely the same soul-destroying cacophony; a mix of thumping, pulsing (‘amplitude modulated’) low-frequency noise and infrasound. Evidence proving the unnecessary harm done to wind farm neighbours by wind turbine … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Guinea Pigs: Why Wind Turbine Noise Victims Suffer Sleep Deprivation & Worse
Dog Ate My Data: Ontario’s Government Buries Wind Farm Neighbours Noise Complaints
The wind industry started carpeting Ontario with wind turbines a decade ago. Ever since, neighbours have been complaining about the incessant and grinding cacophony of low-frequency noise and infrasound these things generate. The only thing more consistent and persistent than the neighbours’ noise complaints, is the Ontario government’s practised contempt for the wind industry’s noise … Continue reading Dog Ate My Data: Ontario’s Government Buries Wind Farm Neighbours Noise Complaints
Court Out: Noise Affected Neighbours Pursue Class Action Against Lying Wind Developers
Wind developers face liability in the millions for the nuisance caused by unrelenting, turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound. Litigation is where the rubber hits the road: myths get replaced with facts; evidence overtakes spin and propaganda. Court rooms (and where they determine the facts, juries) strike fear into the (ordinarily icy) hearts of those … Continue reading Court Out: Noise Affected Neighbours Pursue Class Action Against Lying Wind Developers
Bound to Gag: Sierra Club Buries Evidence of Health Effects Caused by Wind Turbine Noise
The wind cult is a broad church, attracting all manner of unhinged zealots, including acolytes of so-called ‘green’ groups like the Sierra Club. Pretending to care about the environment, while pocketing millions in ‘donations’ from renewable energy rent seekers, hypocrisy is their stock in trade. Peddling the mantra that the only manner of preventing imminent … Continue reading Bound to Gag: Sierra Club Buries Evidence of Health Effects Caused by Wind Turbine Noise
Heartless: Wind Industry Covers Up Health Effects Caused by Low-Frequency Turbine Noise
A couple of years back, STT produced a timeline which highlighted how the wind industry and its pet acoustic consultants managed to set up ‘rules’ which have no relevance to the noise impacts experienced by wind farm neighbours and under which wind power outfits could ride roughshod over rural communities with complete impunity. That post … Continue reading Heartless: Wind Industry Covers Up Health Effects Caused by Low-Frequency Turbine Noise
