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.

What Detroit crisis? Pension fund trustees hang out in Hawaii

Detroit's emergency financial manager Kevyn Orr talks to members of the media about the report he delivered to the State of Michigan about Detroit's finances, in DetroitBy Malia Mattoch McManus HONOLULU (Reuters) - The city of Detroit may be facing a deepening financial crisis but that hasn't stopped four trustees of its public pension funds from spending $22,000 of retirement system funds to attend a conference in Hawaii this week. The trip 4,500 miles west to a four-star resort on the world-famous Waikiki Beach in Honolulu doesn't sit well with the top officials now running Detroit's finances under an emergency order from the state of Michigan. ...
