HAVING a headline about the health impacts of wind turbines is like running a story on how seat belts are causing chafed shoulders.
Electricity generated from wind reduces the need for coal fired power, and thus greatly improves public health. The burning of coal doesn't only contribute to global warming, it poisons the air with a cocktail of chemicals that can contribute to premature death. Wind may have health effects, but coal definitely does, and they are far worse.
