Wind Farms and Health in Canada

Komorowski’s Korner – No Adverse Health Effect from Wind Turbines – June 5, 2010 – Cornwall Ontario |
A report from Dr. Arlene King, Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health, states that there is not any direct causal link between wind turbine noise and adverse health effects.

An Angus Reid survey has shown that most people support renewable energy generation, including wind power. Most opposition comes from people in the locations where wind farms are to be built. I occasionally see posts about negative health effects, but they seem to be unsubstantiated claims without proof. You would think that, with all the wind farms around the world, especially in Europe and Britain, where they have had large wind farms for many years, if there were adverse health effects, then they would have come to light by now.

From what I have seen and read about the dangers of different kinds of energy production, I'll take wind power over nuclear or coal power generation any day.

Anyway, read the link at the top for more information on the health report.

Here is a list of Wind Farms in Canada.
