New Year Wishes from FED | Voeux de la FED
Depuis 2001 les dirigeants politiques de la France se sont drapés dans la vertu de l’écologie qu’ils ont asservie à des lobbys industriels et à des groupes politiques minoritaires et incompétents. Concernant les énergies renouvelables et l’éolien industriel ils ont trahis leurs électeurs, avec des discours mensongés fondés sur des bases scientifiques erronées. La France est superbe, cela tient à sa situation géographique, à la variété de sa structure géologique, à des espaces naturels protégés et à son passé prestigieux . . .

What we know already but the Wind industry are trying to hide
We know wind turbines generate audible, low frequency and infrasound noise and vibration. This has been measured inside and outside of sufferers’ homes. We know health problems (totally new, or old afflictions aggravated) start to appear around wind projects sited in most rural settings with turbines of 0.6MW or larger, co-incident with the start up of operations. We know that the health problems continue to emerge in more people and intensify as time exposure increases. We know that increasing turbine . . .

Recent developments on wind turbine noise and health
Our understanding of the clinical patterns of illness and the acoustics of wind turbine noise has increased significantly over the last year. We now understand that much of the pathology being reported by residents is related to chronic sleep deprivation and chronic physiological stress, in addition to the vestibular disorder symptoms which have been called “wind turbine syndrome” and include nausea, vertigo, balance disorders, ear pressure, and headaches. Recent work by Professor Con Doolan at Waterloo wind development in South . . .
