They are experiencing headaches. What's really, really hard for some of the families is that some of the children are affected" said Louise Barteau, a wind turbine opponent.<br /><br />The decision brought tears to some who've fought the turbine battle for years.<br /><br />Dawn Devlin, a wind turbine opponent said, "It's enough for now, so that for the people who are affected, can get some sleep and get healthy again."<br /><br />ABC6 Chief Political Reporter Mark Curtis said, "For now the shutdown of the wind turbines is a temporary solution, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. But if the developer does not find a permanent solution to the noise problems, they could be shut down for good."<br /><br />The developers of Fairhaven Wind - which operates the turbines – attended the meeting, but declined our request for an interview.<br /><br />In a surprise move the Board of Selectmen voted that Fairhaven Wind had breached its lease because of noise violations, and it has 30 days to fix them.<br /><br />Dr. Barbara Acksen, from the Fairhaven Board of Health said, "We had been told that if the DEP found that the turbines were in non-compliance, that they would direct the Select Board to shut them down, and I was very surprised that they didn't."<br /><br />Testing showed that the wind turbines were too loud, especially at night.<br />frank1https://www.blogger.com/profile/12610351873935485428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29774939.post-90921821149597054862013-06-10T22:23:16.963-04:002013-06-10T22:23:16.963-04:00The low frequency noise from the wind turbines vib...The low frequency noise from the wind turbines vibrates the homes of the residents around the wind turbines. It's like being in a clothes dryer all night long.<br /><br />The sides of the turbines make the most noise. This is called trailing edge noise. The blades create a rope affect of air to the sides of the turbines. The Fairhaven turbines are also sited too close to each other.<br /><br />The turbines make people sick. frank1https://www.blogger.com/profile/12610351873935485428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29774939.post-69127244336708294532013-06-06T17:33:58.911-04:002013-06-06T17:33:58.911-04:00Only in Canada! and Mr. Harper's pet project ...Only in Canada! and Mr. Harper's pet project destroy out country and the wildlife along with it!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588190318973800416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29774939.post-18048753065407914612013-05-28T12:54:07.019-04:002013-05-28T12:54:07.019-04:00You ought to have a blog on www.Cape Cod TODAY.com...You ought to have a blog on www.Cape Cod TODAY.com.Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547731920005050598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29774939.post-69821663746002770012013-05-12T08:19:12.180-04:002013-05-12T08:19:12.180-04:00hey Miles!

We rent plastic reusable moving boxes as a green alternative to traditional cardboard boxes. Anyway, i'm trying to make people aware that the product exists, especially since moving season is right around the corner, so i'm reaching out to local green bloggers like you to see if you would like to do a piece on eco-friendly moving products like this. If this is something that you'd be interested in, please let me know and drop me a line at homeimprovmentninja[at}gmail.com cheers<br /><a href="http://www.elfboxes.com" rel="nofollow">Pete from Elf Moving Boxes DC</a>HomeImprovementNinjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01134409822023878387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29774939.post-23697491462234318572013-05-03T10:09:49.894-04:002013-05-03T10:09:49.894-04:00The more we dig into Gomez's positions the mor...The more we dig into Gomez's positions the more he looks like a propped up amateur.

If the fossil fuel industries rake in record profits, then it's all good. <br /><br />And you can drill, "frack", and pump to your heart's content until our nation's landscape resembles swiss cheese, and you won't make a significant dent in our current or future petroleum needs nor gasoline prices at the pump, despite what the greed-motivated oil industry and their paid-for politicians would like you to believe. Time to think outside the box, folks.<br /><br />Investment in the research and development of green, renewable energy technologies and improving the efficiency of energy usage will be a much more productive use of our time and money than holding prayer meetings or providing huge subsidies and tax breaks to the fossil fuel industries.<br /><br />And in the meantime, we need agencies such as the EPA, NOAA, and FEMA to deal with the impact of the reckless activities of the petroleum and coal industries on the health, safety, and welfare of the American people as well as long and short-term consequences to the global environment.labman57https://www.blogger.com/profile/01264459901483353353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29774939.post-16521461933647352602013-03-04T21:27:37.101-05:002013-03-04T21:27:37.101-05:00I love this idea!I love this idea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29774939.post-3246969699300201642013-02-01T09:22:02.367-05:002013-02-01T09:22:02.367-05:00While I greatly appreciate your deep & genuine...While I greatly appreciate your deep & genuine concern ... who's trying to "sell" climate change at this point?
