Professional engineer Bernd Töpperwien made a presentation (in German) on infrasound and its impacts on human health, specifically addressing the impacts of a wind park proposed to be built in the region he resides. Though low-frequency infrasound (<20 Hz) is not audible to the human ear, the pressure variations are felt by the inner ear, […]

Earlier this year in Ljubljana, Slovenia, acoustics and health expert Dr. Mariana Alves Pereira explained the impacts low frequency infrasound can have on health. It’s far from pretty. Infrasound is very low frequency (<20 Hz) and is below the threshold of human hearing. It is sensed by the human ear only as pressure waves. Hat tip: […]

Stefan Rahmstorf has problems with his sources By Die kalte Sonne Translated by NoTricksZone Stefan Rahmstorf, is just as we know him. In a new Spiegel column, the climate researcher from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research attempts a sweeping blow – but apparently without really checking the numerous sources he links to. Recycling […]

Dystopian nature protection….500 wind turbines in state forests, millions of tons of concrete and steel…deforestation, permanently destroyed biotopes. A large part of southwestern Germany’s idyllic natural landscape is about to be industrialized by 1000 “environmentally friendly” wind turbines. ===================================== Germany faces an ecological dystopia. Image: Windwahn. How wind power endangers Germany’s nature and the health […]

German DLR model computations show each year 1.2 trillion insects are killed by wind turbine rotors in Germany alone. Wind energy shows there is no free lunch. Some major drawbacks of this “green energy” supply include blighting of the landscape, health damage from infrasound, and bird killing. Now insect killing is another that is currently […]

In the scientific literature, wind energy’s effects on human populations has increasingly garnered an ignominious reputation in recent years. For example, wind energy is claimed to (1) lead to “genocide” and “green grabbing”, (2) harm human health and well-being, and (3) lower home property values. Image Source: Tonin, 2017 Wind energy “green-grabbing” leading to “genocide”, […]
