Report for Jan 10 meeting

This letter and new report were sent to the Clinton County Planning &  Zoning Commission today. 

The cover letter explains the "new evidence [that] has come to light that confirms that significant defects remain in FHEFF’s Application which preclude the grant of a Special Use Permit in this matter."

Due to the completed study, which is explained, the letter also says: 

"The argument about whether wind turbines produce infrasound and LFN sufficient to cause adverse health effects (as this study unequivocally demonstrates they do), has taken a big step forward with this study. This Report establishes that infra and low frequency sound is a primary characteristic of Wind turbine acoustic emissions. The wind industry and its supporters can no longer say that Wind turbines do not produce significant levels of infra and low frequency sound just because the sound
pressure levels do not rise to the thresholds of perception of audible sounds. The argument raised by the Wind industry that infrasound, produced by modern upwind Wind turbines, does not have sufficient amplitude to reach the threshold of hearing is now thoroughly discredited."

It continues:

"The Report from Shirley Wind demonstrates that we have now reached the point where the non-participating residents can no longer be used as "test subjects." Instead, it is clear that these non-participating residents are victims. Approval of the Fowler Farms Wind park would make Clinton County complicit in these actions."

Please read the interesting and valuable documents, as they will be discussed at the January 10 meeting.  Thank you.
