Giant wind machines make life a nightmare

HOW dare James McGrath (Letters, October 8) accuse Brigitte Schorn of “listing the usual canards about how wind turbines adversely affect our health and quality of life”.

I am a mother to four young children living near three wind farms that have a total of 32 turbines.

Five of the turbines are located within 700m of my house. My life is a nightmare because of the noise and sheer presence of these huge machines.

I am very concerned as to how they are affecting the health of my children, especially my two-year-old daughter who wakes up screaming when the turbines are at their worst and is afraid to go back to bed.

My property is worthless, so I can’t move away.
