How Wind Turbines Are Making Their Neighbours Sick?

Falmouth residents and twenty-one other Massachusetts communities have complained of headache, vertigo, dizziness, sleeplessness, chest tightness and tinnitus from commercial megawatt turbines being sited too close to their homes. Wind companies freely admit that there is nothing they can do to stop the emission of noise, vibration, air turbulence, wake, and electromagnetic and frequency interference.

It's not surprising health problems worsen with exposure to wind turbine noise when they understand the way infra-sound and low-frequency noise are known to affect health.

Lack of sleep is important for overall health and may very well be related to cancer risk. There are a lot of good reasons for us to suspect that insufficient sleep, chronic sleep debt or short sleep duration from megawatt wind turbines could have an impact on the development of cancer.

The Town of Falmouth had two foreign-made megawatt wind turbines installed in 2010 and 2012 called Falmouth Wind I and Wind II. They were installed after General Electric a domestic wind turbine company refused to build due to residential setbacks and ice throw

The Falmouth Board of Health received thousands of certified noise complaints and 47 families filed complaints at a public hearing about the negative health effects of the wind turbines in 2012.

The Massachusetts courts after eleven lawsuits in June of 2017 shut down both Falmouth town-owned wind turbines forever.

The land-based wind turbine projects in Massachusetts have become an embarrassment to the Massachusetts Democratic Party war on fossil fuels. The disastrous wind projects have taken the health and property rights of thousands of citizens.

No one wants to look into the wind turbine disaster in Falmouth especially the news media who backed the programs for years now just omits all the bad news.

What's even more embarrassing is in 2009 the US EPA, Environmental Protection Agency and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection wrote waivers and financed the wind turbine programs using the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 stimulus funds.

The ARRA Wind II loan was granted despite the Town of Falmouth hiding noise warnings prior to construction the turbines each generates 110 decibels of noise. On a decibel scale, 110 decibels is a rock band playing 24/7.

The United States government is violating human rights in the name of Global Warming and Climate Change. The United States is now allowing the Town of Falmouth to move a 5 million ARRA fund with the turbines. A loan that should never have been made. The town has owed 3.5 million at 2 percent interest since June of 2017.

This all started in Falmouth, Massachusetts when the US Environmental Protection Agency through an application process by April 19, 2010, had granted a waiver of the "Buy America" requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to the Town of Falmouth, Massachusetts for the purchase of the second town-owned foreign-manufactured Vestas V-82 wind turbine to be installed at its existing wastewater treatment facility site.

Remember General Electric refused because of residential setbacks. GE read the 2005 KEMA INC report for the Town of Falmouth that said a GE wind would affect up to 99 residential homes!

ARRA Section 1605 under the authority of Section 1605(b)(2)requires the funds do not create a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety and manufactured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of satisfactory quality.

Legal counsel has advised the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection that Wind II is subject to specific provisions of ARRA and applicable federal regulations and guidelines ("Federal Law') in addition to the terms and conditions of the Project Regulatory Agreement ("PRA") and the Loan Agreement associated with the funding of Wind II.

Under Federal Law and the PRA and Loan Agreement, the Town must maintain Wind II as an "energy efficiency" project, as described in EPA guidelines dated March 2, 2009, in order to benefit from the financial subsidy provided by the Trust under ARRA and the Trust's Clean Water State Revolving Fund program.

To date, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has never interviewed one wind turbine victim or any neighbor of any wind turbine in twenty-one communities with megawatt wind turbines.

MassDPH and every Massachusetts politician knows the wind turbines make people sick and a poor immune system can lead to cancer. This is a health disaster.

Falmouth still owes 3.5 million plus 2 percent interest back to the Massachusetts state revolving funds.
