This video is available here via You Tube, by courtesy of journalist Sylvia Squair. The growth of wind power is exploding across Canada. Wind farms are springing up as easy investments in green energy. Scientific studies have raised serious concerns about the impact they could have on human health. But few are paying much attention. As Sylvia Squair reports, some doctors and scientists are now joining concerned citizens, urging the government and the industry not to throw caution to the wind.
