Infrasound and Adverse Health Effects
From WindWiseRadio:
Join us for the first edition of Wind Wise Radio when we will be delighted to welcome Stephen Ambrose and Robert Rand, professional acousticians, members of the Institute of Noise Control Engineering, and the authors of “The McPherson Infrasound and Low Frequency Noise Study” which investigated the possible relationship between infrasound and adverse health effects experienced by people living near industrial wind turbines (IWT) in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
We will be discussing Stephen and Robert’s findings, their personal experience in the vicinity of IWT, their work on other projects, and their thoughts on the the recently released “Wind Turbine Health Impact Study”. We will also be asking them about their ideas for further studies to advance our knowledge.
Stephen and Robert will be happy to take questions and listen to your comments so please join us for this important event.
Tax dollars backing some “risky” energy projects
from CBS News:
The government is giving your tax dollars to companies that have a 70% chance of failure ~ listen for yourself ~
(CBS News)
WASHINGTON – Solar panel maker Solyndra received a $528 million Energy Department loan in 2009 – and went bankrupt last year. The government’s risky investment strategy didn’t stop there, as a CBS News investigation has uncovered a pattern of cases of the government pouring your tax dollars into clean energy.
Take Beacon Power — a green energy storage company. We were surprised to learn exactly what the Energy Department knew before committing $43 million of your tax dollars.

Wind Turbines Interfering with WANE-TV Doppler Radar
If you are skeptical about other articles and information regarding turbine interference with Doppler weather radar, take a look at this image:
Many times I have tuned my television to 15.3 to check on the local conditions…and most of the time, there is a stationary blob near Van Wert. This blob just happens to reside in the same location as the industrial wind turbine installations in Van Wert and Paulding counties. It either rains there A LOT, or the turbines are messing up the radar.
Do we really want to handicap the technology that warns us about the many severe storms that our area experiences? Is that a tornado, or is it a wind turbine?
No Safe Place
From NA-PAW:
Dr Robert McMurtry, Order of Canada, records his concerns about Industrial Find out about the effect of Wind Turbines on human health and community well-being, in this powerful video called “No Safe Place.” Dr McMurtry has devoted thousands of hours to learn about Victims of Wind across Ontario, and to share that knowledge with you. What is a safe “setback”? McMurtry says, “We don’t know.” Why is Ontario rushing to place even more turbines across the landscape when it is clear that people are becoming ill and even being forced from their homes? Internationally, thousands are reporting the effects, tinnitus, sleep disorders, stress, depression, vertigo, migraines, to name a few.
Remember…
Sometimes we need to step back and reflect on how we got where we are today. Seeing things in perspective can help us make better decisions today. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Why the Wind Power Industry Could Be the Greatest Scam of Our Age — Three Lies that Prove It
From National Wind Watch:
Scarcely a day goes by without more evidence to show why the Government’s obsession with wind turbines, now at the centre of our national energy policy, is one of the greatest political blunders of our time.
Under a target agreed with the EU, Britain is committed within ten years — at astronomic expense — to generating nearly a third of its electricity from renewable sources, mainly through building thousands more wind turbines.
But the penny is finally dropping for almost everyone — except our politicians — that to rely on windmills to keep our lights on is a colossal and very dangerous act of self-deception.

“Big Money” Discovers Huge Subsidies for “Wind Energy”
In the US, “wind farms” are now being built primarily for tax avoidance purposes, not because of their environmental, energy, or economic benefits. The tax breaks and subsidies have more value to “wind farm” owners than the revenue from the sale of electricity they produce… 2/3 of the economic value of wind projects come from tax breaks.
Who are the winners and losers in the wind energy game?
Electrical Energy, the Stimulus Package & You
Let’s start with the assumption that we have some serious energy problems. A businessman steps up and says: “I have a product which will significantly help.” Our first impulse would be to say “great”. But, what should we say next? Maybe this presentation will help:
Wind Farm Would Interfere with Doppler Radar
From WANE-TV:
When I heard the story on our newscast about a wind farm possibly being constructed in Whitley County a red flag went up for me. It’s something that most people don’t think about, but certainly something that meteorologists think about. This is not a theory, there is hard evidence to support my claim.
Let’s take a look at what has happened near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There is a wind farm in an adjoining county there that is playing havoc with the National Weather Service Doppler radar.
Here is a picture of the considerable clutter that is caused by a wind farm. (Doppler radar is very sensitive to winds.) This wind farm is located about 30 miles away from the radar site.

In China, the true cost of Britain’s clean, green wind power experiment: Pollution on a disastrous scale
From National Wind Watch:
On the outskirts of one of China’s most polluted cities, an old farmer stares despairingly out across an immense lake of bubbling toxic waste covered in black dust. He remembers it as fields of wheat and corn.
Yan Man Jia Hong is a dedicated Communist. At 74, he still believes in his revolutionary heroes, but he despises the young local officials and entrepreneurs who have let this happen.
‘Chairman Mao was a hero and saved us,’ he says. ‘But these people only care about money. They have destroyed our lives.’
Vast fortunes are being amassed here in Inner Mongolia; the region has more than 90 per cent of the world’s legal reserves of rare earth metals, and specifically neodymium, the element needed to make the magnets in the most striking of green energy producers, wind turbines.
Live has uncovered the distinctly dirty truth about the process used to extract neodymium: it has an appalling environmental impact that raises serious questions over the credibility of so-called green technology.
