Simon Chapman is getting major news coverage for his opinion piece stating that wind turbine syndrome is an illness brought about by anti-wind groups putting the idea into peoples' minds.
I've read many of the articles about this and have noticed some key points that the media and commentators appears to be missing.
1) Chapman states that WTS (wind turbine syndrome) basically exploded after 2009 along with the proliferation of anti-wind groups. Could it be that the number of anti-wind groups grew exponentially as more people became sick?
2) He states that turbines have been around for 20 years and wonders why has WTS only recently gained attention, but doesn't mention the fact that todays monster turbines make those from 20 years ago look like tiny pinwheels. Or that the setback distances have not grown in proportion to the height and size of the turbines.
It's interesting that the pro-wind side seems to be in a state of panic these days, as their giant money scam starts to circle the bowl.
First countries were told that "theirs" was the only one complaining. Then we hear that WTS is only found in "English" speaking countries and that European non-English countries report no effects. Now we're told that WTS is brought about by the power of suggestion.
Sounds like a pretty desperate attempt by the wind industry to keep their snouts in the subsidy trough as long as they can.
