Standing in a
home a kilometer away from the nearest wind turbine --one of seventeen at the
Pubnico Point Wind Farm in Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia --Tony experiences a
sensation that he describes as "similar to being close to a high power car audio
sound system playing drums. Both situations cause problems that I would say
resemble arrhythmia." ...One potential problem associated with wind power is
noise, like that experienced by Tony. In some locations, residents living near
wind farms find the sound to be an annoyance. A few, reporting acute and
persistent health problems, have abandoned their homes, unable to sell them.
