Two wind turbines that were built on Cape Cod are now being considered for removal because local residents are getting sick from their impact on the environment.

In the community of Falmouth, residents are complaining of headaches, dizziness, and sleep deprivation. Falmouth resident Neil Andersen said, "It gets to be jet-engine loud. Every time the blade has a downward motion it gives off a tremendous energy, gives off a pulse. And that pulse, it gets into your tubular organs, chest cavity, mimics a heartbeat, gives you headaches. It's extremely disturbing and it gets to the point where you have to leave."
The price for the turbines was $10 million; removing them will cost an estimated $5 - $15 million, but Falmouth's five selectmen have decided to go ahead with the project. As Selectman David Braga said, "The selectmen unanimously voted to remove them. We think it's the right thing to do, absolutely. You can't put a monetary value on people's health and that's what's happened here. A lot of people are sick because of these."

why on earth would it cost 15 million to tear it down. if ts that expensive just turn it off and leave it. Im pretty sure you can lock the blades from spinning just lock it up and leave it

does not take 15 million to take the blades off either...

See, I'm all for alternative energy sources. However I think that they need to do more research before just sticking something up and calling it safer green energy. This indicates that more research should have been done.

What the hell? I'm open to any solid information one way or the other on any form of energy. But, this just reeks of BS to me. Mimics heartbeats and causes dizziness?

Windmills have been around for centuries.

This sounds more likely.
