Stop turbines until health issues are disproven
Have you ever gone to the doctor’s office or emergency room with concerns for your health, only to be dismissed as imaginative or overly sensitive? How does that feel for you?
Embarrassing? Humiliating? Are you angry? Do you feel betrayed for having said anything at all?
How do you feel when you go home and experience the same problem again?
Frightened? Desperate? Alone?
How much worse would it be for you if the doctors, the government and some of the public went to the media to say that you are imagining your problem and that it doesn’t exist because they just don’t “see” it?
This is what is happening to so many families in our rural community as they try to explain that the wind turbines are destroying their health and lives.
It starts with the wind power industry. They don’t want to talk about their product as causing harm.
It continues with a government that uses the product to boost their “green” image.
Every time any one of you, public and media alike, tell these people you are skeptical in the face of their suffering, you are doing your part to re-victimize them.
Are you confused between hundreds of people’s accounts of ill health from turbines verses the wind industry/government literature review and engineering modeling saying it isn’t so?
Before you dismiss another hurting soul, please consider what they are saying. Many don’t want what has happened to them to happen to one more person. They are trying to warn you.
So am I.
This isn’t impossible to solve. An epidemiological study on human beings by health professionals can determine the truth of the situation.
Let’s STOP putting turbines up until there is proof that they don’t hurt our families.
