PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES
Heidi Emery, Highland Plantation
Imagine finding out a potential development in your area is being planned and when you so some research on it, the information you find is that it will make you and your children sick.
Imagine people not listening to your pleas to stop it.
Imagine that the information you found was from highly educated people who had received several degrees from Yale, Harvard, and other pretigious colleges and yet no one cares and the developers try to discredit these highly educated people for the sole purpose of protecting their own greed.
That is my reality.
I live in Highland Plantation where they (Highland Wind, LLC) plan to place 48 industrial size wind turbines on the mountains that surround the valley my family and I live in. We are in danger of becoming extremely sick.
Wind turbine developers don't want people to know about the health issues the high-intensity, low frequency noise creates. They don't want you to know because they want to continue receiving money from the federal government to build these so-called green projects. If you search the internet, you can find many stories in the U.S. and many other countries about people living with health issues caused by wind turbines. You'll also find many lawsuits taking years and years to resolve. You'll find people who have abandoned their homes with no financial gain just to escape the wind turbines they have been forced to live with.
Imagine waking up every night several times a night with the overwhelming feeling of danger, like something is wrong and your heart is pounding, you're sweating, anxious, and nervous. You are sleep deprived and have a hard time coping with things you do day to day.
Imagine feeling a pulsating, vibrating feeling in your chest, sternum, and all over your body.
Imagine feeling irritable and angry for no reason.
Imagine suffering with headaches day after day.
Imagine feeling nauseated and sick.
Imagine watching your children and spouse go through the same things. You can't concentrate anymore, your memory is bad and your children's grades are dropping and they have behavioral problems never once experienced. These are symptoms of Wind Turbine Syndrome. These symptoms can lead to more dangerous health problems over time.
There are certain people more at risk of getting these symptoms than others.
Imagine three in your family that have those risk factors, and you know that they could put those wind turbines in anyway, regardless of your family's health concerns.
This is my reality.
