  1. County of St. Paul considering 1.5-kilometre wind turbine setbacks : The County of St. Paul is exploring new rules that could require wind turbines to be built at least 1.5 kilometres away from homes. The discussion happened during a recent council meeting as councillors debated how much control municipalities should have over renewable energy projects and whether Alberta needs clearer province-wide standards. Reeve Glen Ockerman said council… wind-watch.org/news/2026/05/28

  2. (archive: 2010) Responses of the Ear to Infrasound and Wind Turbines: The Bottom Line The commonly held belief that low frequency sounds you cannot hear cannot affect the inner ear is incorrect. Our paper reviews well-established publications by the leading scientists in the field of auditory physiology and concludes that the outer hair cells of the cochlea are stimulated by very low frequency sounds at up to 40 dB below the level that is heard.… wind-watch.org/documents/respo

  12. Scottish court ruling on wind farm grid connections : A Scottish court ruling has underlined a practical point for farmers and landowners approached by renewable energy developers: the turbines may be only part of the development that matters. Cables, substations, access routes and grid works can also affect land, drainage, grazing, farm access and future business plans. The Court of Session has quashed planning permission for the proposed Wull… wind-watch.org/news/2026/05/24

  13. ‘Insulting offer’: $1000 to view 70 wind turbines from your front door : On a scorching 38 degree January day with howling winds, a fire broke out in the Bondo State Forest. Air tankers were flown in to tackle the blaze, extinguishing it within the day. However, local landholders are worried this effective action will not be able to be used if the Bondo wind farm project goes ahead. The proposal, from Neoen, is currently for 164 turbines to be… wind-watch.org/news/2026/05/24
