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.

Gun groups sue to block new Connecticut gun law

REUTERS/ Michelle McLoughlinBy Richard Weizel MILFORD, Connecticut (Reuters) - Leaders of Connecticut gun advocacy groups said on Thursday they had sued to knock down a strict new gun-control law passed in April because they believed the measure would not improve public safety. In the wake of the December massacre of 26 people at an elementary school by a gunman, Connecticut adopted a tough new gun law banning sales of the sort of high-capacity ammunition clips used in that attack as well as expanding the range of weapons covered by the state's assault-weapons ban. ...
