Wind turbine health effects stirs up controversy ~ Video

Kelly Schlicht, FOX 11 News BROWN COUNTY - The signs against wind farms on the front yard of their country dream house remain, even though Darrel and Sarah Cappelle have left their home. “As an environmentalist, I thought it was a good idea,” said Darrel Cappelle. “Once they started turning, we quickly changed our feelings." They say health problems caused by constant noise from the nearby Shirley Wind Farm forced them to move. Dean Baumgardner of the Madison-based Wind Capital Group told Local wind-energy proponents say the health effects neighbors have felt aren't wide-spread. "People receiving checks that have wind turbines on their land don't seem to have any problem and they live closer to the facility,” said David Vander Leest, a Green Bay wind farm developer   ~~~~~~~~~~~~  What David Vander Leest neglected to saw was that  traditionally  Wind Companies require loyalty clauses ( GAG ORDERS) when they sign people up to wind leases.   Link to original  link here to read Wind developer David Vander Leest's Bio.. .

Gag orders in contracts explain why leaseholders don't complain, but another point is that you would probably feel less annoyed if with every spin of the blades you thought of a silver dollar dropping into your bank account. On the other hand, not receiving a nickel, having your quiet home made noisier and watching your neighbor with a wind lease driving a new pickup would be enough to piss-off the Pope.
