[2013]Conclusion Industrial wind turbines can harm human health if sited too close to residents. Harm can be avoided if IWTs are situated at an appropriate distance from humans. Owing to the lack of adequately protective siting guidelines, people exposed to IWTs can be expected to present to their family physicians in increasing numbers. The documented symptoms are usually stress disorder–type diseases acting via indirect pathways and can represent serious harm to human health. Family physicians are in a position to effectively recognize the ailments and provide an empathetic response. In addition, their contributions to clinical studies are urgently needed to clarify the relationship between IWT exposure and human health and to inform regulations that will protect physical, mental, and social well-being.

I would suggest this, in Germany...regulations came up over placement of windmills, and there are general rules about how close you can build them now to housing or urbanized areas. They won’t come out and say it’s a health hazard, but they limited the proximity for reason.
And they cause climate change.
And all that gobbledy gook means what?
Orange man bad!
(just kidding ...)
It means there aren’t any direct physical effects, like radiation.
It’s mental, the snowflakes suffering from NIMBY.
low-level sound or vibration emissions from windmills has been a topic in Europe for a few decades now. And the effects of low-level sound is also a current research topic. I think it was low-level sound that was blamed for the embassy diplomats in Cuba going deaf? Cuba said it was crickets?
Trump was actually taking another swipe at the ‘green new deal’ which went right over the MSM newsreaders’ heads. Instead of googling the soundbite, they’d rather giggle amongst themselves and pretend Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
I’ve only been near them once, in Keyser WV.
Couldn’t stand it.
It was like some kind of subsonic vibration that was palpable.
No idea how the residents of Keyser tolerate those bird blenders, 24/7.
I’ve been through Altamont many times. I agree that it’s a totally different ‘vibe’, not a place you really want to linger.

“It’s mental, the snowflakes suffering from NIMBY.”
Ahhh. Thank you.
While in college a friend took me to his house to show me how he had converted his entire house (minus a few things) to run on a windmill. This was in a neighborhood of small houses on small lots. I asked him what the downsides were. He said, aside from going out once a week to collect a bushel basket of dead birds? Humm, I turned my pantry into a lead acid potential pollution nightmare and the neighbors won’t talk to me. Oh, and it’s noisy.
It isn’t only mental. Nonstop high intensity low frequencies you cannot near will make you sick.
Those monstrosities have to be creating strong electromagnetic fields as well as low-frequency vibrations. Not going to be healthy to live in close proximity for very long.
They are all up and down the Columbia River valley now. What used to be beautiful scenery is now covered with big ugly whirlibirds.
Yep, a fairly clear likely connection.
Constant windmill noise causes stress and stress leads to more cancer:
It isn’t e-mag, it’s sound/vibration. You get more e-mag from an electric blanket.
That’s why I don’t recommend electric blankets either!
If they have such a deleterious effect on human health, just think of their impact on the environment. What are they doing to the critters that escape being pulverized by the blades?
Like so many “solutions” concocted by leftists, they don’t care if it doesn’t work or makes the original problems worse. They only care that it isn’t “mainstream” because avoiding what is “mainstream” somehow makes things superior.
