Could Wind Turbines Be Toxic To The Ear?

47. And I am all for actual science

To find out if some of the claims made by real people have any like real merit. This peer review in the Jpurnal of Audiology is science, peer reviewed and all. I want others to try to confirm or debunk it, like you know science works. This is where that skepticism comes.

Some claims are actually well documented, see bird deaths. This s to the point that a certain number of raptor deaths are allowed in the permitting process under SEQUA and other regulations at both state and federal level.

As to the cancer clusters, they are very new...there are two working theories as to what causes it locally, with a possible third...one sounds like real possible, the other do not. Regardless, again that pesky skepticism, I want the science done. and no, it has none to do with radioactive wind, look fifty miles north of where I live for that, not 75 miles East.

For wanting that science I have been attacked, piled on and called names. Let's just say...you don't think fracking is that great? Neither do I, but we have some science to back some of it. Sadly, worst case this, would not be the first time the road to hell was paved with good intentions. And as to fracking...quakes is not that conclusive...yet.

What is very real is that the wind Industry really has been fighting this research. Either for more efficient designs, or anything else.

And you know what is special? You guys say I am repeating oil industry talking points...no dear, this is what real living human beings have been experiencing...like for real...but you guys are repeating AWEA's talking points. And I mean it...the best part is that I doubt you realize it. This is the same trade group that is trying to stop any research. FYI, the article in the Journal of Audiology...is the first one. (And I will repeat this, I want it to be repeated and tested, and double tested and all that...that is the way science works)

Regardless, every time we come across this story...or cover the local scene, the pile on is on, why? Sacred cows... Period.
