There is an issue that has not fully come to the surface in Scotland: the health hazards of wind farms.
Here is wiki report that does not mention health.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_Scotland
There is much in the report and everything seems, all fine and well.
There is this sentence “The siting of turbines is sometimes an issue, but surveys have shown high levels of community acceptance for wind power in Scotland.”
This may come as a shock but there are other reports that are alarming.
here.
I quote.
Residents suffer from ringing in the ears, headaches, sleeplessness, dangerously elevated blood pressure (requiring medication), heart palpitations, itching in the ears, eye watering, earaches, and pressure on the chest causing them to fight to breathe
And I am writing this just 2 days after the opening of Scotland’s biggest wind power farm http://iclanarkshire.icnetwork.co.uk/news/scotland/headlines//tm_headline=salmond-opens-on-shore-wind-farm&method=full&objectid=23668332&siteid=50144-name_page.html
Then we have expert PR men or doctors in denial, or perhaps we can blame the victims for not knowing what is the matter.
http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/16774/
“Wind energy advocates say studies show no proof that turbines cause health problems and that residents who live near wind farms have few complaints about them. ”
Everything is well!
Not. http://www.viewsofscotland.org/library/turbines_and_health.php

It looks like bookstores are about to be swamped this summer and fall by advisories which publishers commissioned a year ago, as the economy was going off the rails. The preferred marketing strategy is to offer advice by celebrity insiders on how to restore the happy 1981-2007 era of debt-leveraged price gains for real estate, stocks and bonds. But the Bubble Economy was so debt-leveraged that it cannot reasonably be restored.
For the time being we are being fed Wall Street defenses of the Bush-Obama (that is, Paulson-Geithner) attempt to re-inflate the bubble by a bailout giveaway that has tripled America’s national debt in the hope of getting bank credit (that is, more debt) growing again. The problem is that debt leveraging is what caused our economic collapse. A third of U.S. real estate is now estimated to be in negative equity, with foreclosure rates still rising.
