Your Questions About Wind Turbine Syndrome

Carol asks…

After seeing videos like these, do you still think more wind turbines are a good idea?

Or are they still good until they are brought into your own neighborhood?

Headaches, dizziness and nausea cause by the unnatural “flicker effect” of the giant shadows cast by the giant turbine propellers:

People being forced out of their homes because of health health problems cause by “wind turbine syndrome” caused by the flickering, EMF energy pollution emitted, noise, and vibrations.



Maybe I’m more sensitive than some, but even seeing videos of wind tubines spinning and causing blinking lights makes me sick.

The flicker effect is annoying. Maybe the agw socialist hippies would like to live in the shadows of wind turbines because they’re a bit like disco strobe-lights. They’re already dizzy and nauseous in promoting global warming.

Seriously, wind turbines have a role to play in isolated areas where generating power is a problem. But they’re expansive, expensive, ugly on any landscape, noisy and only work when there’s enough wind to make them turn. The idea of building them to power large communities is scary, and now apparently they lead to health problems. My opinion is to use them only where other power sources aren’t practical/possible.

I’ve seen a lot of electrical plants and I would rather live near one of those if I had to choose. Seeing these giant EMF towers with their spinning propellers makes me sick, don’t they make you sick too?
It Girl: I agree–when you look at them they stand out as not belonging there. As being unhealthy and unnatural.
piegowdealer: The third video is in the US–Oregon.
And I’m not against clean energy at all–I still think electric cars are a good idea. I just think fake “clean energy” schemes/scams are bad ideas and bad for our health.

Hmm…strange, because we have wind farms where I am and I have not heard of this. At all. I have not felt massive vibrations, I have never seen shadows that large cast anywhere near residential housing, and I know of no animals who have suffered dangerous reactions to the stimuli. I have never experienced hearing much noise from them either. It isn’t like you can compare a wind farm with an international airport, a train station, a bus depot, a nuclear energy plant, an oil rig, a coal processing plant, a shooting range, a major waterway, a large city (more than a million), barges, lock and dams, a major grain plant, rendering plant, hog or chicken farm, or distillery (they all smell to high heaven) or even a military base where they set off ammunition–all of these are way worse (trust me–I have lived near all of these items at some time or another in my life).

If you do not trust my accute assessment (since I am not a scientist or an energy advocate of any kind), then try reading up on the views of wind energy from communities that have lived with it for many years. You will find that the level of satisfaction in this method of energy production is superior to that of energy created by other methods. Not everything you see on youtube can be trusted as comnplete fact–if you believe everything you see on there, then I would be worried. As for them not being attractive…well, not everything can be aesthetically pleasing, now can it. If you can’t seem to live near it, then move–people do it every day, especially when they live near noisy or obstructive things (airports are a great example). Otherwise, get over it–unless we want to spend billions of dollars in solar panels, or geo-thermal energy systems, this is one of the cleanest energy solutions we have available.
