Y2Kyoto: Who needs to sleep?
Apparently sleep researchers haven't been getting enough of that cool green Gov't money. They came out against human habitation near windmill farms.
I'm sure we'll quickly be brought up to speed though on why this study is flawed.
American and British researchers compared two groups of residents in the US state of Maine. One group lived within a mile of a wind farm and the second group did not.
Both sets of people were demographically and socially similar, but the researchers found major differences in the quality of sleep the two groups enjoyed.
The findings provide the clearest evidence yet to support long-standing complaints from people living near turbines that the sound from their rotating blades disrupts sleep patterns and causes stress-related conditions.
