Author:  Punch, Jerry; James, Richard; and Pabst, Dan

Most of us would agree that the modern wind turbine is a desirable alternative for producing electrical energy. one of the most highly touted ways to meet a federal mandate that 20 percent of all energy must come from renewable sources by 2020 is to install large numbers of utility-scale wind turbines. Evidence has been mounting over the past decade, however, that these utility-scale wind turbines produce significant levels of low-frequency noise and vibration that can be highly disturbing to . . .

The study families themselves figured out that they had to move away from turbines to be rid of their symptoms, and . . .
