(154,021 posts)1. Wind turbines cause cancer.
Reading comp issues. I said we have cancer cluster. I also wrote there are three theories, hypothesis at play here, none of which involve wind perse. For the record, two make no sense to me, one does. Let me repeat this... The only radiation laden wind is fifty miles north, they even had a leak of it, why the station is right now idle, not 75 miles East. So you have an issue with public health researchers asking why we have a cancer cluster? For the record, while not wind related...it will be related to the development. And it's not the only cancer cluster. So you have a problem with actual science being done? I guess you do
2.- blades will be thrown for miles.
Given we never said that, you did, you really need to carefully read what read. Try a couple times. Less than a mile does not equal miles in my world, but it obviously does in yours.
3.- Wind turbines cause funny ear disease.
That claim is being made by an MD in a peer reviewed medical journal. Like all claims I want that one taken through the rigor of the scientific method. I want studies, with controls and everything. You know science...what you would have zero issues with if this was not a sacred cow.
But I am so against them, you got my number, that I want money pumped into blade less wind technology. These derricks will solve, assuming we actually have an actual issue with the bladed systems, a lot of the issues and are safer for wild life.
Next you will repeat the AWEA talking point that these things are safe for raptors, why they have take permits issued during the permitting process.
