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.

After court rules, California gay marriage fight may go on

A man carries flags at a rally in support of same-sex marriage at the State of California Supreme Court in San FranciscoBy Peter Henderson SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The fight over legalizing gay marriage in the most populous U.S. state may go back to the ballot box in 2014 with California voters asked once again to settle the matter even after the Supreme Court's expected ruling this month on the issue. Experts believe the top court is unlikely to proclaim a national right to same-sex marriage in its decisions. The court is set to rule on a challenge to California's ban on same-sex marriage and on a provision of federal law denying certain benefits for married same-sex couples. ...

Analysis: Hospital investors sold on U.S. health reform despite bumps

A Tea Party member reaches for a pamphlet at a "Food for Free Minds Tea Party Rally" in LittletonBy Susan Kelly CHICAGO (Reuters) - Shares of U.S. hospital operators have been on a tear this year, on average posting triple the gains of the broader stock market, as investors tallied up the benefits of President Barack Obama's healthcare reform. While some on Wall Street have held back amid signs of trouble as U.S. states prepare to implement the reform law, long-term investors still see more reward than risk on the horizon for hospital stocks. They expect company earnings to strengthen as more Americans gain insurance coverage and hospitals lose less money treating the uninsured. ...
