Generating electricity creates noise, but the traditional nuclear, coal and
gas fired power stations are all positioned some considerable distance from
human habitation.

Not so wind turbines where “official guidance” stipulates that turbines
should be no closer than 1.5 miles from habitation – although the Noise
Abatement Society recommends a distance of at least 10 miles.

Investigation of this “official guidance” is now needed as there are
screeds of reports from professionals across the globe which document the
affect on health of the low frequency noise emitted by turbines.

Governments need to carry out proper research into the long-term effect on
public health. To say there is no scientific proof is no more than a denial
of documented evidence.
