Residential Wind Turbines - Don’t Live to Close

 

 

The green power that comes from wind turbines is wonderful as long as you don’t live to close to a wind farm.

A pediatrician named Dr. Nina Pierpont has written a book on the medical problems people have had that live very close to wind turbine farms, Wind Turbine Syndrome “likely to become an industrial plague”

According the CTV.ca News Staff

 “Some early findings suggest that wind turbines create a high intensity, low frequency sound that may have an effect on the body. Not only can the sound potentially cause debilitating illness. Some researchers believe that the vibrations the sound causes in the inner ear may lead to vibro-acoustic disease, which can cause dizziness, nausea and sleep disturbances.”

This does not appear to be a problem for all people that live close to residential wind turbines and many of there wind farms are a distance form communities.

It is still a good idea to keep in mind when wind farms are coming to your neighborhood, or when looking at property in an area with residential wind turbines near by.

Here is the link to the full story to help you decide for yourself if you want to live close to residential wind turbines.

Maine can see what windmill energy can do.

Maine is already considered the windmill capital of New England, but now Maine is considering whether not to add more windmills in their future. They are hoping to add 2 more wind turbine farms, which would generate 186 megawatts of power altogether. This amount of energy would power 70,000 average homes.

These projects were turned down last year because there was a lot of concern about building in sensitive wildlife areas and the cost of the development. The residents of Maine would really like to see the project happen, so the Land Use Regulation Commission will be revisiting the idea and looking at preliminary plans.

There is still opposition to the plans from groups that are worried about how the landscape will be changed and how the windmills will affect wildlife. They are working to find a solution that will make everyone happy.

Here at Windmills to Power Your Home we applaud Maine’s efforts to add more windmills to their grid.
