#SAVETREASURECOUNTY

PRESERVE OUR WAY OF LIFE

Treasure County residents deserve to know the truth about the impacts of windmills on their health, livestock,  real estate, local economies, and environment & wildlife habitat. Learn about the adverse effects of industrial wind turbines.

“Wind energy will undoubtedly create noise, which increases stress, which in turn increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer”

National Institute of Health, 2008

As wind turbines are incapable of generating power on demand and wouldn’t last a second without massive subsidies, there is no ‘right’ place for them. Any power generation source that can’t deliver electricity on demand is pointless, so talk about appropriate siting is pure nonsense.

Learn about the potential dangers and risks of large windfarms.

Fire Risks

Fire is the second leading cause of reported accidents in wind turbines. However 91% of wind turbine fires go unreported.

Health risks

Turbines create low frequency infrasound which causes serious negative health effects for some, and have been reported by people living as far away as 10 miles from industrial wind turbines.

Property Impact

Wind turbines and associated transmission lines severely depress local real estate values.

Livestock & Wildlife Damage

Numerous reports from around the world indicate that the low frequency infrasound generated by industrial wind turbines can kill or maim cattle, horses and other livestock.

Environmental Impact

Wind turbine and transmission line construction can easily damage underground water resources (wells and springs), especially if blasting is necessary to remove rock for wind tower/transmission line foundations.

What is the Treasure County Coalition?

The Treasure County Coalition are concerned individuals living in or near Treasure County that will be impacted by the proposed wind turbines and supporting transmission lines. Our mission is to provide information and resources to the community on the potential dangers and risks of large wind farms. The information shared is based on research and studies regarding the effects of wind turbines.

Why has it been necessary to form this coalition?

Independent, peer-reviewed studies have proven that wind turbines are dangerous to human health and mental well-being, livestock, and wildlife (particularly birds and bats), and also increase the likelihood of fire. Properties with a view of wind turbines lose substantial value, sometimes becoming unsellable.

Our county commissioners have been disinterested in the information on the dangers of wind turbines that has been presented to them. They have accepted the glamorous promises of the wind company without question, and have done no due diligence regarding the negative economic impact on the county, the negative health effects on people, or the negative health effects on livestock and wildlife. The county commissioners have the authority to stop this through zoning.
