Massachusetts Politicians "Condone" Wind Turbine Torture

Falmouth, Massachusetts is ground zero for poorly placed wind turbines in the United States. Residents have complained of noise from the 1.65 megawatt wind turbines for six years.

The MassDEP has sat on its hands for years now allowing Plymouth, Massachusetts to install massive multi story wind turbines with massive blade spans. The monster wind turbines are a menacing sight to residential property owners.

The Plymouth 2.0 megawatt type wind turbines are 25 percent larger than those in Falmouth and there are four of them.

The commercial wind industry now builds up to 8.0 megawatt commercial wind turbines. At what point does it stop 3, 4, 5 or 6 megawatts ? How much more can the public be punished in Massachusetts ?

Massachusetts politicians have forced home owners to dip into their life savings to hire law firms to protect themselves from the politicians who refuse to enact health and noise regulations. These people are paying taxes and paying litigation fees to protect what they thought was the American Dream of home ownership.

State officials are following a federal and state political agenda to reach renewable energy agendas while taking your health and property rights with no compensation.

Over the last decade, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) has done nothing to abate wind turbine noise. The MassDEP has complaints from at least twenty one communities over wind turbine noise from megawatt wind turbines.

These examples of inaction show what wind turbine victims know that the regulations are out of date for ten years yet the DEP does nothing but follow the "Agenda."

Noise is a public health concern that falls within the scope of Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) authority as a form of regulated air pollution (M.G.L. Chapter 111, Sections 142A-M provide statutory authority for MassDEP's Air Pollution Control Regulations, 310 CMR 7.00

Failure to enforce regulations is a common factor in the degradation of health and property rights in Massachusetts over the placement of commercial megawatt wind turbines. Litigation is where the rubber hits the road: myths get replaced with facts; evidence overtakes spin and propaganda.

The owners of those homes in 21 Massachusetts communities have been complaining bitterly about low-frequency noise and infrasound from the moment the turbines commenced operation.

Proper regulation of wind turbine developments is an issue that transcends any political divisions, state borders or ideology.

It is necessary to safeguard the basic health and personal rights of rural residential home owners and the future of rural civilization in general.

Dr. William Hallstein, treating psychiatrist from Falmouth,Massachusetts USA, made it abundantly clear that the impacts of the turbines are indeed tantamount to torture in his letter to the Falmouth Town Board of Health.

It is telling that Justice Muse from the Falmouth Superior Court issued an injunction in December 2013 to prevent “irreparable harm to physical and psychological health” by turning the turbines off at night.

Sleep deprivation has long been recognized as torture by the Geneva Conventions of 1949, the United Nations Convention against Torture (CAT), and the United States War Crimes Act. Depriving someone of proper sleep is torture, regardless of whether it is perpetrated by the CIA against suspected terrorists, OR by reckless planning authorities who permit the wind industry to site industrial-scale wind turbines in residential neighborhoods, or by noise pollution regulatory authorities and health authorities who ignore consistent reports of sleep deprivation from neighboring residents.

When authorities deem developments “compliant” with regulations, or wind developers effect specious mitigation; they are inflicting torture. They are violating fundamental human rights.
