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.

Moore shows that as cities grow, tornado damage grows with them

Rescue workers look through the rubble at Plaza Towers Elementary school in MooreBy Ben Berkowitz and Julie Steenhuysen (Reuters) - Moore, Oklahoma, has had the bad luck of being hit by two highly destructive tornadoes, both in the month of May, 14 years apart. But the Moore that got struck on Monday is not the same as in 1999. Like a lot of towns across America and in the so-called "Tornado Alley," rapid growth has made it a bigger target, vulnerable to more damage. The tornado, with winds that may have topped 200 miles per hour, killed at least 24 people and injured hundreds more, with many of the casualties children from two schools that were destroyed. ...

Oklahoma tornado brings back fear in recovering Joplin, Missouri

General view of a landscape almost cleared of debris from a tornado in Joplin, MissouriBy Kevin Murphy KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - Less than three hours after a deadly twister on Monday flattened a swath of Moore, Oklahoma, tornado warning sirens sounded in Joplin, Missouri, 215 miles to the northeast. While no twister touched down, the Oklahoma disaster and the sirens stirred painful memories in Joplin, which on Wednesday observes the second anniversary of one of the most catastrophic tornadoes in American history. "It brought back a lot of fear, especially since there was a chance that a tornado could hit here," Sarah Jo Radcliffe, a Joplin resident, said on Tuesday. ...
