I haven't a clue if this is true, but the Obama solution will be to tell them to quit whining and take one for the team. Take a couple asprin too.

PETA won't allow it anyway...knocks the ell out of innocent burds flying way too close, it puts field mice in a tizzy, and squirrels get too tired climbing the base.

One would think they would go back historically and see if Hollanders are all whacked out.

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.

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.

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

"Noise from windmills has been compared with the low thuds of base notes from music,"

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.

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.

Low frequency sound waves can demolish buildings.

They are also bad for people.

On the other hand, being near an elephant when he starts a low frequency rumble is a lot of fun.
