Michigan Lawsuit Alleges Wind Power A Threat To Health And Safety

Lawsuit Alleges Wind Power A Threat To Health And Safety [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
Cary Shineldecker is one of the 17 plaintiffs. He and his family have lived in their house 18 years and fully own it. At a local meeting, two months before the lawsuit was filed, he described how the turbines had been disrupting their lives.
"We've now moved our beds to the basement in a storage room," Shineldecker said. "After living in my house for 18 years, [we're sleeping] in a storage room on an air mattress so I can try to sleep . . . so my lovely wife can get up and go and try to teach second graders and be awake in the morning.
"We have been up multiple, multiple nights and cannot sleep," Shineldecker added. "I've missed work because of this. Our health is suffering."
Shineldecker also said at that meeting that four of his wife's teeth were loosened as a result of her clenching her teeth at night while low frequency vibrations from the turbines were shaking her.
Lake Winds Energy Park wind farm started in November, 2012. Shineldecker's description in February was about the initial three months of operation.
