Anti-Wind Turbine Syndrome is real!

antiwindturbinesyndrome

Yes, you’ve read that correctly.

I am hereby re branding this to be more in-line with reality, now that we know what it is. 

Facts are coming out that it is actually the Anti- Wind energy groups claims of “wind turbine syndrome” and the like that may be causing the very illness they tell residents to expect, not the wind turbines themselves. 

No one is saying that the symptoms that people may be reporting aren’t real to them. Now the proof is coming in on what may really be causing their symptoms.

Healthy volunteers, when given information about the expected physiological effect of infrasound, reported symptoms that aligned with that information, during exposure to both infrasound and sham infrasound.

The research showed a large group of HEALTHY people could be expected to report symptoms if they were told to EXPECT them, whether or not they were exposed to the infrasound! Exactly as would happen when anti-wind energy groups publicize what they say are the “dangers”. 

I would hope any of the people truly suffering, will now turn their focus and go after the people who actually did manipulate them and made them feel ill.

This is the most recent of many scientific studies to debunk the fearmongering.

read more here: Wind farms don’t harm human health: 17 major reviews world wide of all of the available research by credible, independent groups say so.

Enlightening facts show how other factors related to the fearmongering can help certain persons in certain circumstances play into the scenario. Further studies have shown those especially vulnerable are when people’s personal beliefs were already leaning anti (confirmation bias), amongst other reasons.  Still, I do not blame these people who are suffering at all, whatever the reason. The blame rests squarely with those irresponsibly(at best) and purposely(at worst) causing innocent neighbors these problems.  From today on, media outlets that just let these groups say “whatever” and just repeat it, share the culpability, as well.

Like (now reelected) US representative Tim Bishop said about climate change at last summer’s Long Island Off Shore Wind Conference: ““All we can do is just provide people with the facts…and hope they accept those facts.”

Unfortunately, that’s a long waiting game and the detractors of renewable energy know that putting up these straw man arguments delay the onset of their deserved extinction.  They dont actually care if they make residents sick, and the more the better for their cause, in fact.

Hopefully this argument is put to bed for good, preventing further harm to anyone.
