It should be noted that the committee which produced this report considers Dr. Pierpont’s research on Wind Turbine Syndrome (WTS)\u00a0to be\u00a0garbage.\u00a0 In fact,\u00a0worse than garbage:\u00a0 the committee opines that Dr. Pierpont fabricated Wind Turbine Syndrome.\u00a0 Let me rephrase this, since it’s a real gem:\u00a0 these politicians basically accuse Pierpont of inventing WTS and foisting this (illusory) terror on the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

One must allow that the committee had one great advantage as it deliberated on “wind turbine syndrome”:\u00a0 it was never burdened with an understanding of either the evidence, or clinical medicine,\u00a0or what constitutes peer review.\u00a0 On the other hand, it evidently mustered enough functioning brain cells among its members to recommend a minimum of 2 km setbacks—and that’s a good thing.<\/p>\n

The Committee notes the concerns expressed by Inquiry participants regarding \u2018Wind Turbine Syndrome.\u2019\u00a0 The Committee further notes that research findings of \u2018Wind Turbine Syndrome\u2019 have not been published in a peer-reviewed journal.<\/p>\n

The Committee is concerned that the significance of \u2018Wind Turbine Syndrome\u2019 is being unnecessarily exaggerated because Dr Pierpont is a medical doctor and has published a book on the issue, rather than any scientific merit of such a syndrome.\u00a0 As a result, a degree of fear is being instilled in communities that may host wind turbines.\u00a0 The Committee is concerned that, based on evidence received, this unwarranted fear may be causing greater health impacts than the presence of any actual \u2018Wind Turbine Syndrome’ (p. 121).
