We are the citizens of Paint Rock Texas.
Wind farms produce around 43 decibals from 300 meters.
Basically in between a fridge and an air conditioner.
Though lower sound waves undetectable by the decibal system can cause some uncomfortable circumstances.
The closest a wind turbine can get is 300 meters.
All though it usually around 500 meters away.
Now would it be unattractive on our property?
The answer is yes our majestic rock formations and rock paintings would be destroyed our obscured by this blemish of our land.
Now what do wind turbines cause to the human living near it?
The answer is yes.
The human brain and cannot handle long term exposure to infrasound that can cause the following; disabilities in unborn children, night terrors, …show more content…
All though there is a high chance as wind farms grow the property value will decrease. Also some examples and complaints have come up where health issues exist, but the government rubs it off.” This information was paraphrased from Field Guide to Wind Farms & Their Effect on Property Values. (Updated February 2014)
This means we must influence them to our cause.
For the evidence against the cause it just complaints and some problems. We have no real ground evidence except in independent studies by independent groups.
What are the benefits of the wind farm?
The benefits are of the following, more power for our city, more jobs for us, more money, and compensation from the company. The downside would be this, wind company bullying with taxes, less land to hunt on, less land to fish on, this farm would take up most of paint rock, it would ruin the land scape, the poor ducks and birds will die, the bats that get rid of the mosquitos in the summer will die, and we might have a lot of health problems.
What is the real deal? Well I can tell you it is money and power or wellbeing and respect. I choose the …show more content…
I would like to begin talking about the sandhill Crane. The sandhill Crane migrates around North America and is generally a peaceful bird. These birds come to Texas for the winter according to nationalgeographic.com. Now these graceful birds will have a problem if wind turbines appear out of no were. If it is our town first that the wind turbines will be placed on then what next whole counties? How will these curious creatures live to see another day if the birds path is blocked by wind blades?
The next feathered friend I will talk about will be the common mourning dove. According to Texas A&M’s Robert C. Tweit (2007) the mourning dove is more common than a house sparrow. Also note that a large population of these birds can effect predators, also the spread of trees will increase due to their seed eating habits. Overall losing these birds to wind turbines would negatively affect the ecosystem.
The last bird for this report will be waterfowl. Since waterfowl species are so numerous it will be generalized to just waterfowl. The waterfowl feed on algae and other water organisms though they vary according to aquaticcommons.org . Since they control the fish population through competition they are a valuable need to the lake ecosystem. These birds will also die to the blades of the wind turbines.
So for the bird’s species around Paint Rock, Texas this is a grim reminder of human encroachment.
