Studies show that wind power is a safe energy source that benefits public health. Wind power developers regularly engage with local communities to ensure approved siting regulations are in place. Plus wind power is approved by a majority of Americans, ranging from 66 percent to 77 percent in support of wind power. Their reasons are simple, by adding wind power we are putting thousands of Americans to work (up to 75,000 currently), saving ratepayers money on their electric bills, and keeping the environment clean for humans and animals alike. A study released in January 2012 by the Massachusetts departments of Environmental Protection and Public Health issued a definitive scientific analysis that refutes several myths about sound perpetuated by wind energy opponents. Two new international studies have concluded that by power of suggestion a “nocebo” effect takes place, where individuals spread the ills they claim to have from supposed wind turbine infrasound. The “Nocebo” (like placebo) is a perceived impact on one’s health as result of hearing complaints about sound emitting from wind turbines that otherwise wouldn’t take place. In one recent study that looked at complaints over a 20-year period at every wind farm in Australia, complaints about sound were concentrated to areas heavily criticized by anti-wind groups. And complaints escalated sharply only once anti-wind groups arrived. These studies add weight to the growing body of credible science, which reinforces the studies and statements from government health organizations around the world that have noted there is no direct health effect associated with the sounds from wind turbines.

More poor people now live in U.S. suburbs than cities - study

Newly constructed homes in an unfinished subdivision is surrounded by weeds in CoolidgeWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of people living in poverty in U.S. suburbs surpassed the number of poor in cities over the past decade, driven by strong growth in overall suburban populations, according to an analysis released on Monday. The change is posing a challenge to some traditional U.S. approaches to fighting poverty, which were aimed primarily at poverty in urban settings, the Brookings Institution study found. The number of poor people living in suburbs rose 64 percent between 2000 and 2011, reaching 16.4 million, it showed. ...

Vermont passes law allowing doctor-assisted suicide
By Jason McLure (Reuters) - Vermont on Monday became the fourth U.S. state to end legal penalties for doctors who prescribe medication to terminally ill patients seeking to end their own lives. The law, which includes a number of safeguards over the next three years as the state adapts, marked the first time a U.S. state has used the legislative process to make assisted suicide legal. Oregon and Washington have similar laws passed through ballot measures and a Montana court authorized the practice in 2009. ...
