Falmouth Massachusetts Wind Turbines Ground Zero Poorly Placed USA

Falmouth, Massachusestts USA : local and state politicians had warnings letters, emails, memos, maps that showed in advance of the installations how dangerous megawatt wind turbines can cause health and property takings

Federal officials knew in 1987 about infra sound studies by the US Department of Energy in Boone North Carolina. The NASA investigation by Dr. Neil Kelley and his colleagues established a link between the symptoms (including sleep disturbance) reported by the Boone, North Carolina residents and a single wind turbine

Falmouth officials ignored all the warning signs and information below

A 2003 study entitled "Effects of the Wind Profile at Night on Wind Turbine Sound" was published in the JOURNAL OF SOUND AND VIBRATIION.

The study cited that local residents living 500 meters [1,640 feet] and further from their wind farm reacted strongly to the noise.

Residents up to 1,900 meters [6,233 feet] from the wind farm expressed annoyance.

The actual noise generated by the wind turbines is significantly greater than the original sound assessment. For example, measurements of actual wind speed at the hub height at night were up to 2.6 times higher than expected.

These wind speeds caused higher rotational speed of the wind turbines and consequently up to a 15 dB higher sound level (sound levels were expected to be 43 dB but have been measured at 58 dB). The turbines also produce a thumping, impulsive sound, which increased annoyance

Part 1 of a documentary of a wind farm operating in Meyersdale, Pennsylvania. This film is useful to watch because the topography is similar to the topography in Stamford, and the turbines are close to the size that Invenergy is proposing. This wind farm was completed in 2001, and this film consists of interviews with residents who have been living with the turbines for 5 years.
