I have concerns about the siting of wind turbines in residential areas due to documented health risks if adequate setbacks are not established. … What is the basis for your concerns about setback distances? There is safety in distance. Wind turbines emit sound energy that includes audible sound as well as infrasound. Infrasound has been documented to have acute medical effects in high doses over short periods. At lower doses . . .

This is a song based on our experience of wind farm planning applications in the Glenties/Ardara area of County Donegal, Ireland. The furtive secrecy, the lack of public consultation, the absence of cost/benefit analysis,the lies about employment, the environmental destruction caused by wind farming and its associated industries, and the need for communities to simply say no, not under these conditions. —Glenties Windfarm Information Group, 2015 stopthesethings.com/2014/08/16/how-much-co2-gets-emitted-to-build-a-wind-turbine/ irishenergyblog.blogspot.ie/2015/04/cost-benefit-analysis-obligations-for.html www.bbc.com/future/story/20150402-the-worst-place-on-earth (((( . . .

Billed as one of the world’s largest wind farms, the project attracted national attention for stacking federal and state subsidies. Developers subdivided the project to qualify for three $10 million tax credits from Oregon, where regulators approved the final tax credit last month. Photos by Jamie Francis, The Oregonian.

Wind turbines, however, are not free of externalities themselves, particularly interference with landscape aesthetics. We quantify the negative externalities associated with the presence of wind turbines using the life satisfaction approach. To this end, we combine household data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) with a novel panel dataset on over 20,000 installations. Based on geographical coordinates and . . .

A full video or audio tape of the event is available (see end). For the background as to how this meeting came about, please see the History section of the Citizens’ Questions document submitted to NYSERDA. Reading through that material will also explain why this forum was a major abandonment of the original commitments . . .
