Massachusetts Risks 18 Billion Tourism Vs Megawatt Wind Turbines

Massachusetts Land Based Wind Turbine Vs Tourism 18 Billion At Risk

Most evidence in 2017 shows wind turbines could put off tourists. There is no study for good reason.

Massachusetts state and local officials today are well aware of two distinct types of nuisance noise from wind turbines. They are state regulatory noise regulations stated in decibels and a human annoyance nuisance noise called infra sound. Infra sound was discovered in a US Department of Energy study in Boone, North Carolina 40 years ago.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts nor the Federal Government has performed a comprehensive assessment of the public health and safety concerns associated with the design and operation of industrial wind turbines probably because of the effect it would have on local tourism in Massachusetts.

Falmouth, Massachusetts ( Cape Cod) is ground zero for poorly placed wind turbines in the United States followed by twenty one other communities around the state.

Statewide residents complain of a feeling from the turbines swooshing. The neighbors describe the noise as torture from lack of sleep affecting their health.

If you and your family are planning a visit to the Cape Cod area this summer do you want to subject your family to the direct physiological impacts like rapid heart beat, nausea and blurred vision caused by the ultra-low-frequency sound and vibrations from the megawatt wind turbine machines.

Massachusetts in 2012 did a wind study that concluded commercial wind turbines affect sleep.

Massachusetts has a long history of omissions when it comes to the placement of commercial wind turbines. State officials don't want to know what is the impact of turbines on tourism.

Massachusetts has been installing megawatt commercial wind turbines since 2005. It's been well over ten year with no study into the potential impact of wind turbines on tourism ? The lack of a study tells it all.

The scale and rate of wind turbine development in Massachusetts is inappropriately located. The tourists can make their own value judgements but how close is too close ?

The State of Massachusetts and its cities and towns do not want to reasonably and rationally look at the effect of wind turbines on tourism if they did there would be a study.

The Massachusetts Superior Court has ruled the operation of the turbines at previous levels put residents at risk of ‘‘irreparable physical and psychological harm.’’

The next time you or your family visit Cape Cod or SE Massachusetts ask about the wind turbine exposure to vibration that often results in short-lived changes in various physiological parameters such as heart rate.
State and local tourism officials across the state are gearing up for a fight to get more funding from the 2018 state budget.

SE Massachusetts and Cape Cod lack the data on the effect of land based wind turbines and tourism.

Tourism is one of the key industries in Massachusetts, accounting for nearly $18 billion in direct spending .

The tourism industry supports over 125,000 jobs generating 3.6 billion

Massachusetts needs to step up to the plate and admit the commercial wind turbine placements are a mistake taking the health and property rights of out citizens
