Do Wind Turbines Affect Human Health?

A colleague sent me this piece from New York Magazine on the so-called “wind-turbine syndrome,” a name given to the health effects that some people say are caused by living close to wind farms.  This syndrome is not accepted by scientists and doctors, and my colleague, a practicing psychologist, notes:  “The psychology of fulfilling the prophesy, i.e., getting the symptoms after reading about them, is so true.”

In any case, this is a terrific article on the subject.

    I’m pretty sure we should focus our attention on solar power after read this 😉

    • If you read it more carefully, I think you’ll agree that the issue is more complicated. The scientific community, whose viewpoints I trust, believes there are no real problems associated with wind turbines.
