It takes a special brand of delusion to believe that the world can run on sunshine and breezes. For wind and sun worshippers, disastrous examples like South Australia - where mass blackouts and load shedding have become the new normal - require not just practiced delusion but a form of self-flagellating stoicism, as well. Oh, … Continue reading Renewable Energy’s Dirty Dozen: 12 Reasons Why Chaotically Intermittent & Heavily Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Make No Sense

US Courts Ordering Wind Power Operators to Buy Out Noise-Affected Neighbours at Market Rates

He’s the handsome devil … Continue reading Battlelines Drawn: Victoria’s Wind Power Push Meets Angry & Disciplined Opposition
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’
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
Falmouth’s Victory: Noisy Community Destroying Wind Turbines to Be Demolished
Back in November 2013, we reported on the orders made by a Court in Falmouth, Massachusetts that pulled to a halt the operation of a couple of Vestas V82s that have been driving townspeople nuts, since they kicked into gear almost 7 years ago (see our post here). We’ve also reported on Barry Funfar, a former … Continue reading Falmouth’s Victory: Noisy Community Destroying Wind Turbines to Be Demolished
Wind Turbine Noise Makes Life a Living Hell for Neighbours: Michigan Farmers Driven From Homes
Wherever the wind industry expands, so too a visceral hatred among those forced to suffer incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infra-sound. No manner of cynical finessing can excuse what’s done by this subsidy-soaked so-called ‘industry’. Turning peaceful and idyllic rural communities into industrial wastelands sticks in the craw of even life’s most grizzled … Continue reading Wind Turbine Noise Makes Life a Living Hell for Neighbours: Michigan Farmers Driven From Homes
Wind Farm Refugees: Turbine Noise Forces Highlander to Abandon Home & Sleep in her Car
What wind farm neighbours have to tolerate is nothing short of criminal: incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound drives neighbours nuts and, where they have the option, out of their homes altogether. The most common adverse health effect caused by wind turbine noise emissions is sleep deprivation, which brings with it a grab bag … Continue reading Wind Farm Refugees: Turbine Noise Forces Highlander to Abandon Home & Sleep in her Car
Wisconsin’s Wind Industry Called to Account for Its Victim’s Wholly Unnecessary Suffering
Where a power generation source is of a kind abandoned centuries ago, for pretty obvious reasons – namely, its proven inability to deliver power as and when it’s needed; and which exists, and only exists, by reason of mandates, subsidies, fines and targets, the harm and suffering it causes is wholly unnecessary. Those that continue … Continue reading Wisconsin’s Wind Industry Called to Account for Its Victim’s Wholly Unnecessary Suffering
