If you’re looking for litigious trouble, spear a few giant industrial wind turbines in someone’s backyard and you’ll soon find it. Americans have made suing wind developers for noise nuisance a national pastime. Now the Greeks are getting in on the act. Hélène Colliopoulou details the fury that’s led to locals lawyering up and suing … Continue reading RE-Volt: Greeks Sue Wind Developers for Nightly Wind Turbine Noise Torture

French Resistance: Couple Collect €100,000 In Damages For Wind Turbine Noise Nuisance
The grinding, thumping cacophony generated by giant industrial wind turbines delivers wholly unnecessary misery worldwide. Sleep deprivation is first among the list of adverse health effects caused by these things and the pulsing low-frequency noise they generate. The wind industry has fought tooth and nail to avoid the consequences of the harm it dishes out, … Continue reading French Resistance: Couple Collect €100,000 In Damages For Wind Turbine Noise Nuisance
Guilty: Proof Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise Destroys People’s Ability to Sleep
There is no doubt that the thumping, grinding, mechanical cacophony generated by giant industrial wind turbines drives neighbours nuts. But trying to explain wind turbine noise to someone who has never had to live with it, is like trying to explain a migraine to someone who has never had a headache. A recent study from … Continue reading Guilty: Proof Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise Destroys People’s Ability to Sleep
Unnatural Environment: New University Study Nails Wind Turbine Noise Nuisance
The wind industry has been lying for years about the nature and effects of wind turbine noise and they’ve paid acoustic consultants a veritable fortune to do so, on their behalf. It’s criminal, to be sure, and at a government-backed, corporate scale. However, slowly but surely, ethical researchers and experts are building a body of … Continue reading Unnatural Environment: New University Study Nails Wind Turbine Noise Nuisance
Unnecessary Night-time Nuisance: Why Wind Turbine Noise Is So Much More Annoying After Dark
Delivering a thumping, grinding, mechanical cacophony, industrial wind turbines drive neighbours nuts. But, as a recent study from Flinders University in South Australia has found, there’s a reason why wind turbine noise is so much worse after dark. The pulsing, thumping nature of wind turbine noise - which relates to blades passing the tower - … Continue reading Unnecessary Night-time Nuisance: Why Wind Turbine Noise Is So Much More Annoying After Dark
Jumbo Noise Problem: Africa’s Elephants Hate Thumping Droning Wind Turbine Noise
Thumping, grinding wind turbine noise has always been the elephant in the room for the wind industry. Now, it’s the elephants themselves who’ve signalled just how annoying low-frequency wind turbine noise is. Renowned for their acutely sensitive hearing in the lower frequency register, the long-distance communication between Africa’s elephants is being drowned out by an … Continue reading Jumbo Noise Problem: Africa’s Elephants Hate Thumping Droning Wind Turbine Noise
No Place For Man or Beast: Irish Family Pockets €225,000 From Wind Power Outfit For Noise Torture
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 No Place For Man or Beast: Irish Family Pockets €225,000 From Wind Power Outfit For Noise Torture
Climate Refugees: Dutch Families Abandon Homes To Escape Excruciating Wind Turbine Noise
The real climate refugees are those forced to abandoned their homes thanks to a grinding, pulsing cacophony of wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infra-sound. The climate catastrophists wail about millions being displaced by rising tides and chaotic weather. But it’s their obsession with chaotically intermittent wind power, that’s causing a real rural exodus. The … Continue reading Climate Refugees: Dutch Families Abandon Homes To Escape Excruciating Wind Turbine Noise
America’s Rural Communities Go On The Offensive Against Big Wind’s Turbine Onslaught
Nothing invokes rage and fury in rural communities like a wind farm comprising dozens and sometimes hundreds of 300 tonne, 200m high monsters. In Germany, locals expressed their opposition in no uncertain terms - voting 25 to 1 against a giant wind project proposed for their patch of paradise: Renewables ‘Transition’ Hits Roadblock: Germans Vote … Continue reading America’s Rural Communities Go On The Offensive Against Big Wind’s Turbine Onslaught
Industrial Noise Overload: What Makes Wind Turbine Noise So Soul Destroying
For those unfortunates forced to live with incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound, the cause of their inability to sleep is no mystery. For a taste of what life with these things is really like, why not start with Clive and Trina Gare (South Australian farmers paid $200,000 per year to host 19 2MW … Continue reading Industrial Noise Overload: What Makes Wind Turbine Noise So Soul Destroying
