These four wind turbines might have their sound drowned by motorway trafic but the real worry is the ultrasound noise they create. We, in North Cornwall are fighting the sighting of 20 of these monster size turbines on Bodmin Moor. Developers who build these things are not "green" they are hungry wolves in green clothing. This is about money and nothing more.Tax payers money. Free money to developers who will earn around thre quarters of a million pounds tax free per annum for each turbine that is erected in this country.This is a worldwide problem!Actually a worlwide disgrace. With regard to ultrasound, this is the noise that you can't hear. any internet search will reveal quality research into the affects on human health on this "unheard" sound and vibration.In areas where wind turbines are prevalent there are increases in depressive illness, suicide,insommnia,he
adaches, tinnutus and balance problems. A recent survey carried out by a Padstow GP on the residents close to The Bear Downs development shows this in a common sense way. Many "experts" that defend these development are often in the employ of the government in one way or another. There is absolutely no eveidence that wind Turbines are a "green" option for power and their destruction of local habitat is known worldwide.With regard to horses, I would wholeheartedly disagree that they are oblivious to turbines. My own steady Highland ponies are terrified of them. They produce vibrations in the ground which horses perceive and they are also able to pick up on sound which to them resembles the drumming of horses hooves and being flight animals, panic can ensue. If you have a Bridleway in close proximity I would urge all your horseriders to contact with urgency the British Horse Society with regard to access and safety of access as if this development goes ahead you will be robbed of yet another safe riding area which will never be regained.
If the spread of turbines continues at the present rate and within the expected development to 2020, we will have one turbine to every 8 square miles of Britain. In reality, in the countryside, this will equate to nearer one turbine per every 4 square miles.Gosh, I can't wait.....
