Wind energy lobby ignoring real concerns of families, children

Yet again, supporters of wind energy claim that families moving from their homes need to “learn the facts and separate actual risks from unfounded fears.”

 This is a response to the opinion piece written by John Anderson and Joe Sullivan, erroneously titled “Science Proves that Wind Energy is Safe for Wisconsin.”

 They claim that the “detractors” of wind energy are simply publicizing their concerns that “sounds emitted from wind turbines cause adverse health effects.” The use of the word “sound” suggests audible noise. This is another example of the pro-wind lobby ignoring the real concerns of families and children. These families are not claiming harm from audible sound, but from low-frequency “infrasound.” [htr news]
