According to that article it's not the actual sound of the turbines it is infrasound which we can't actually hear. And the problem isn't necessarily the turbines themselves but the proximity to people's residences.
The point is that many people are claiming ill health living near these things and nobody yet knows exactly why. I think it is sad that the so called suffering of these people is dismissed out of hand without some serious further research being done. I can see some nasty lawsuits in the future of the wind industry if any of these claims are proven down the line. |
Well the thing with this, is it can be fixed with regulations on how close wind turbines can be built to residences. This is nothing that can't be worked around and fixed.
Fracking however, once the water underground is polluted, it's not going to be fixed. These companies don't even have to tell anyone what the fuck they are injecting into the ground. They get to call it a "trade secret". The little bit that has been found out shows it's some pretty bad stuff they are just pumping into the ground with zero regard to what happens in 5 years or even 50 when that shit starts seeping into the water tables.
