Because i think to remember stories of people who lived near their
Wind mill in Holland , [ before WW2] and i don`t recall such a
complaint , but of course this was a long time ago ,, [the story
telling ]

I hadn't heard about this. What kind of sick are they, do you know?
Always a fly in the ointment, I guess.
OTOH, there just aren't that many people living near the wind farms.
In ND, anyway.

People can't sleep and they are getting vicious headaches. My guess is it is
very low subliminal sounds or very low vibrations that are coming off of the
windmill blades because I haven't heard of any pets or farm animals having
problems. I think that the windmills are at least 1/2 mile away from their
property.
It could also be something like out phase sound waves coming off the blades
from time to time. This would be similar to having the wiring going to the
left side of your stereo (read sound system) opposite to the wiring going to
the right side. In this case what happens is the left side speaker *pushes*
air towards you and your left ear while the right speaker *pulls* the air
away from you and your right ear. You don't realize what is happening until
someone asks you why you are shaking your head from side to side or after 20
minutes you have a vicious headache. When someone complains to me about
migraine headaches, the first thing I tell them is to have the wiring to
their stereo (read sound system) checked. In a car it can really drive you
to road rage. LOL
I had a brother who had to stand on a mat or sit on a padded cushion when he
was in church. The low harmonic/notes from the church organ used to make him
sick to his stomach.

Yars ago I worked on a vertical axis windmill and power generating system
for the Nation Research Council in Newfoundland, after $250,000 they called
it quits. The 30m? tall beast NEVER lit a light bulb. Yet as far as I know,
another smaller one up on an ice flow in the Bering Sea is still floating
around and generating power, I doubt anyone at NRC is monitoring it. Sad as
loads of money and over engineering over ruled common sense. There were
places that the units could have been very useful.

The Solar water heaters are put on every house by LAW , for many
yuears now !!! as a National Building law . In Haifa at first City
hall objected saying taht in Haifa where every house looks on a house
below it , it would look UGLY , but the state insisted and it is here
for years !!!!
