One would think they would go back historically and see if Hollanders are all whacked out.
In Kalifornistan, they call them condor cuisanarts.

There is also the positron emission problem.
The rotational energy produced by wind turbines in instances where there is alignment along the magnetic field line induces positronic displacement into the grid. This displacement remains in the current flow until utilized.
It is dissipated into your home, especially by resistance appliances like stove eyes, toasters and hair dryers.
But that’s what gonkulators are for. I have one attached to every window.
Wind power, to good to be true.
You mean the country with the "red light" district on Canal Street, and the "coffee shops" that smell funny?

The low-frequency noise travels farther than the audible noise, up to several miles.
Although this is true, the effects also diminish rapidly following the inverse square law, and can be driven to a minimum by lowering the decibel level at the source.
IMHO, a major part of the problem is that scientific equipment has become sufficiently sensitive to measure previously undetectable levels of "noise". This provides egghead "researchers" with the "data" to imply negative health consequences when there are none. The only real "beneficiaries" are the parasitic lawyers who clog our court system with lawsuits base on this crap.
Saul Alinsky rules
RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

See this link for how wind farms mess up weather radar.

Very interesting article. But music has "bass" notes, not "base" notes. (Although as the father of ten year old who makes me listen to her favorite radio station in the car, there is a lot of "base" music out there these days.)
Hate to be a pill, but I strongly believe that these types of copy errors in a published article detract from the otherwise worthwhile points that are being made.
For every 100 MW of wind generation, 85 MW of backup fossil power is required. In Texas, the figure is > 90 percent backup.
Other reasons aside windmills aren’t reliable sources of energy or cost efficient. I have driven by the vast forest of windmills in southwestern Minnesota along Highway 23 on days when not one of the hundreds of windmills that stretch to the horizon were turning and on other days when only a handful were in operation. I have also seen very windy days when the windmills are idled because wind velocities beyond a certain point stress the massive rotors to the breaking point and they need to be shut down. The demand for electricity continues whether the winds blow or not.
The designs for smaller, individual turbines are better in this regard. Big propellers going through the air is not something I would want near my house.
They have to self-medicate.
***...alignment along the magnetic field line induces positronic displacement into the grid.***
Anything like the Positronic rays used to by Jane Fonda in BARBARELLA?
Someone I know who delivers parts to some of the wind farms in TX told me he sees a lot of broken turbines when he goes out to deliver. I am guessing they are more prone to breakage with less return, than say the electric plants at Calavera Lake or Braunig Lake near San Antonio. Anybody know?
Yep. Texas is, by design, completely off of the US's grid - I guess so that if Obama is successful in instituting HorrorbamaCare & nationalizing those last remaining parts of the American private economy he hasn't already stolen we can beat a hasty exit from the Union without much interruption to our daily lives,lol).
But the state has become very wind-dependent over the last few years for power & has narrowly averted rolling blackout events a couple of times when the winds died down suddenly at windfarms in West TX. So now we're having to build all these $$$ newfangled backup generating plants powered by natural gas (fossil fuel!) to be able to kick in when winds collapse (usually, but as we saw in 2008, not always at night).
Heaven knows I'm no energy expert, but, as a lowly consumer, it surely seems to me that wind power is turning out to be neither as cheap nor as green as all the shills for the self-enriching racketeers in the Big Green Lobby told us it would be. By the time we get all the kinks worked out (if ever), all those ridiculously delicate $$$ turbines we were told would save us so much in the long term will have had to have been replaced many times over. God only knows what the ever-escalating eventual $/KW tab will average by the time all is said & done.
(I sure wish Envirwackolifornia would have been the state to serve as the guinea pigs on Wind Power - but as usual, the sanctimonious dolts at the Statehouse in Sacramento never put their money where their green mouths are, at least not where it counts.)
