Guess the windmills need to be put way out in the woods.
Sue Hobart, a bridal florist from Massachusetts, couldn't understand why she suddenly developed headaches, ringing in her ears, insomnia and dizziness to the point of falling "flat on my face" in the driveway.
"I thought I was just getting older and tired," said the 57-year-old from Falmouth.
Months earlier, in the summer of 2010, three wind turbines had been erected in her town, one of which runs around the clock, 1,600 feet from her home.
"I didn't put anything to the turbines -- we heard it and didn't like the thump, thump, thump and didn't like seeing them, but we didn't put it together," she told ABCNews.com.
Hobart said her headaches only got worse, but at Christmas, when she went to San Diego, they disappeared. And she said the same thing happened on an overnight trip to Keene, N.H.
"Sometimes at night, especially in the winter, I wake up with a fluttering in the chest and think, 'What the hell is that,' and the only place it happens is at my house," she said. "That's how you know. When you go away, it doesn't happen."
Medical mystery: 19 teens develop Tourette's syndrome-like symptoms.
Hobart and dozens of others in this small Cape Cod town have filed lawsuits, claiming that three 400 feet tall, 1.63 megawatt turbines (two owned by the town and one owned by Notus Clean Energy) were responsible for an array of symptoms. A fourth, much smaller turbine, is owned byWoods Hole Research Center, but it receives fewer complaints.
The wind turbines have blown up a political storm in Falmouth that has resonated throughout the wind energy industry. Are these plaintiffs just "whiners," or do they have a legitimate illness?
| "It goes all day and night. My initial take was that she was being a hypochondriac, but I went to their house two years ago with a little skepticism and within 10 minutes of being in the house, I could feel it and hear it." -- Brian Mannal, lawyer for Sue Hobart |

Mr Ed is reading blogs written bi multi-dimensional tricksters for the very purpose of causing chaos and or 3d liars to downgrade the wests economic prowess and shift it to Asia/Russia mainly China-what world it will be when the one party chnese democrats have a heavy hand in the wests affairs
what are the costs? immpossible-low cost clean electric for 1.3 million in the south west; Hoover Dam-the chinese obviously disagree with you-3 Gorges dam largest in the world, brand new-I know what it's all about-it's the greenie activists who don't want dams-not even diverting river flow to a power plant and thenj returning it to the river-solar panels still need a ways to go before they are a viable single source of energy;

-How much sunlight energy does our PV cell absorb? Unfortunately, probably not an awful lot. In 2006, for example, most solar panels only reached efficiency levels of about 12 to 18 percent. The most cutting-edge solar panel system that year finally muscled its way over the industry's long-standing 40 percent barrier in solar efficiency -- achieving 40.7 percent [source: U.S. Department of Energy]. So why is it such a challenge to make the most of a sunny day?
I guess, solar power is left then................................
what's wrong with hydro-water wheels?
No mention of if she lived next to a doppler radar station. They pump LOADS of frequencies on and off up and down through those things. My ears ring much much less if I travel away from one. And too much frequency can and will make you nauseous. So, in other words, it could be anything, it could be multiple items with conflicting frequencies.
There is zero regard for human and animal safety when it comes to frequency output. Just ask the whales and the birds for starters.
hydro from water is the cleanest if you don't mind giant dams
