re: #344 LudwigVanQuixote

This is going to be crap just like the crap about cell phones being dangerous. It was always, always just bunk in that case because the EM fields cant even penetrate the skin.

However, scare enough people and you need endless research to prove that there is no effect. Then the endless research comes in, but it is a meme and the politicians latch onto it, while a breathless media stirs a nontroversy.

Remember how microwave ovens were going to kill us all as well?

I think televisions were supposed to kill us to. Yeah, this borders on chemtrails and other urban myths…

Dr Nina Pierpont, a New York pediatrician and a controversial figure in the wind power discussion, has said that noise can be an important disadvantage of wind turbines, especially when building the wind turbines very close to urban environments. The controversy around Dr. Pierpont’s work centers around her claims made in a self-published, non-peer-reviewed book that ultra-low frequency sounds affect human health. She makes the assertion that wind turbines affect the mood of people and may cause physiological problems such as insomnia, headaches, tinnitus, vertigo and nausea.
