Sue Hobart, a bridal florist from Massachusetts, couldn't understand why she suddenly developed headaches, ringing in her ears, insomnia and dizziness to the point of falling "flat on my face" in the driveway.
"I thought I was just getting older and tired," said the 57-year-old ...
Months earlier, in the summer of 2010, three wind turbines had been erected in her town, one of which runs around the clock, 1,600 feet from her home.
"I didn't put anything to the turbines -- we heard it and didn't like the thump, thump, thump and didn't like seeing them, but we didn't put it together," she told ABCNews.com.
Hobart said her headaches only got worse, but at Christmas, when she went to San Diego, they disappeared. And she said the same thing happened on an overnight trip to Keene, N.H.
"Sometimes at night, especially in the winter, I wake up with a fluttering in the chest and think, 'What the hell is that,' and the only place it happens is at my house," she said. "That's how you know. When you go away, it doesn't happen."
Hobart and dozens of others in this small Cape Cod town have filed lawsuits, claiming that three 400 feet tall, 1.63 megawatt turbines (two owned by the town and one owned by Notus Clean Energy) were responsible for an array of symptoms. A fourth, much smaller turbine, is owned by Woods Hole Research Center, but it receives fewer complaints.
The wind turbines have blown up a political storm in Falmouth that has resonated throughout the wind energy industry. Are these plaintiffs just "whiners," or do they have a legitimate illness?
In 2011, a doctor at Harvard Medical School diagnosed Hobart with wind turbine syndrome, which is not recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Wasn’t the gov developing a crowd control mechanism using this sort of tech?
Somebody needs to do a low frequency spectrum distinguishing the good and bad turbines with a spectrum analyzer that goes low enough.
“I know it sounds pretty farfetched, but on the other hand sound waves can be pretty powerfull in their effect on the human body. “
Back in the ‘40’s there was a jet airplane where the engine powered a large prop. (No, not a conventional turboprop.) It made so much noise that the crew would vomit. Some of them got very sick.
Sounds like the same principle used to keep moles out of your yard. A windmill that constantly produces a thumping sound.
Yep. Here’s the ever trusted Wikipedia info on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Range_Acoustic_Device
It’s just ELF waves (aka infrasound) generated by the wind turbines.

Very true. The Russian Tu-95 Bear bomber (and derivatives) have massive turboprop powered contrarotating propellors where the tips actually exceed the speed of sound. It’s the noise and shockwaves have been documented to have very similar symptoms as these to people who are around them when fired up.
There was also a turboprop powered variant (prototype) of the F-84 Thunderstreak/Thunderflash, called the Thunderscreetch, that had the same effects as well.
XF-84H Thunderscreech.
Infrasound. Can kill and aven level a large city.
Some researchers have paid with their life.
Some of the new phones make people throw up. Chinese sheet rock made people sick. The military has a sound weapon that makes people too sick to fight. These windmills make birds so sick that they fall out of the air dead.
Evil never checks stuff out before they install it.
I'm one of those people that certain sounds make me sick.
Even though I have a hard time understanding people not looking directly at me or people speaking in a crowd, I can hear a high pitch other people can't hear.
It's particularly bad with music which is why I don't listen to much music.
It's like a dog whistle to me
Another crash. I hope he doesn’t tell people to enroll by mail. USPS is bad enough already.
BS
I think the birds actually get wacked by the spinning propeller.
Wrong thread. Damn smart phone.

Sounds like the Evil Promotion Agency(EPA for those in RioLinda)
Just like telling folks to install mercury gas filled curly cue lightbulbs
That give people headaches to save the planet. Right?
Just like when one of those car radios are on super loud and shake the ground and your heart! Dang that would be annoying 24/7!
