"'Wind Turbine syndrome' sufferers in Cape Cod sue"
As reported here, wind turbines have drawbacks, and they are BIG...
In the U.K. Daily Mail, Snejana Farberov reports on this one:
"Dozens of residents of a small community in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, have filed lawsuits claiming that a trio of large wind turbines located near their homes have been harming their health.
In the summer of 2010, the town of Falmouth and a private company called Notus Clean Energy erected three 400-feet-tall, 1.63 megawatt wind turbines.
Just months later, Sue Hobart, a 57-year-old wedding florist, began experiencing spells of dizziness, bouts of insomnia, ringing in her ears and severe headaches.
At first, Mrs Hobart attributed her symptoms to the onset of old age, but then she noticed that whenever she was away from home, the symptoms vanished."
