The Greens would complain if they were hung with a new rope.
Any chance they will be? :-p

#3 Attach flutes and oboes to the tips of the blades so that they make a nice cheery noise?

#4 NotMikeMoore - We don't generally go in for personal abuse here at Rantburg and I suggest you restrict your abuse to left wing sites where it seems to the standard for interaction.

Didn't you get the memo? It's open season on Faisal, et al. Murat season opens soon, I think. Aris is open all year.

#7 Barbara,
They can be hanged but only if the rope is hemp.

#8 Gee NMM, you don't get attacked until you say something stupid. Why can't you afford the same behavior to others?

#9 They've been complaining about the wind farms killing birds, too. Guess we human-types just can't do anything right.

#10 NotMikeMoore (or maybe you are): Care to explain further? I don't get the joke, or the reference.

Whitecollar redneck: LOL

#11 Continuous low frequency noise is used as torture. No shit, haven't you ever been stuck at a traffic light with some snot-nose blasting Eminem next to you ?

#12 I spent yesterday next to a screaming 200 MW GE Steam Turbine. I feel groovy what with that paycheck 'n' all. Plus my ears are clean from the earplugs. We call that a bonus.

My computer fan on the other hand is out of hand. I am going to lay down now...

#13 Does anyone remember the "Brown Noise" episode of South Park where the whole world sh*t its pants? There has been research in that area concerning crowd control. It's hard to riot when you're carrying a load in your pants.

#14 BS,
I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong (thanks ahead of time) but Leni Riefenstahl made "The Power of Will" for Hitler. I don't understand the reference though.

#15 On another windmill note. Does anyone remember the stink that some of the Kennedy clan were making about the potential windfarm that could be viewed from their compound (Versaille) on the Cape? Freekin' hilarious! Talk about the Bourbons of the US.

C'mon, NMM, be a sport, we're all supposed to be friends here. You can Barb can have a mutual exchange of blunt instruments elsewhere.

#17 As someone with a serious tinnitus and hyperaccusis problem (~70dB at 6000hz, bilateral, constant, with "supporting" sounds ranging from 800hz to about 10,000hz), this is not a joke. My wife and I are seriously moving to an area where our nearest neighbor is ten MILES away, just to get away from extraneous noise.

As for the traffic noise, between the constant bouncing from the potholes to the constant blare of some people's idea of "music", by the time I make the 12-mile one-way commute to take my wife to work or bring her home, I'm a basket case, and need at least two hours of NOTHING in order to recover.

My case isn't "normal", and what these people have to put up with is different, but it's still a serious concern. Sounds like someone didn't do any HUMAN engineering when they were working on the design. Maybe they can relocate these "wind farms" to some more isolated, uninhabited areas, such as some of the bare rocks off the northeast coast of Scotland.

#18 Don't worry about that, Redneck. The clan is probably so shitfaced when they're at "the compound" that they probably see it already. Or visions a lot worse.

#20 Whitecollar redneck - I know who that unrepentant Nazi was. What I don't understand is the meaning of his comment.

But then, he probably doesn't either. :-p

#21 Frequency of noise
this is from memory - I might be off a bit, but not too much

typical truck exhaust noise is about 300 hz, human voice can as low as about 60 hz and about as high as 1600 hz. Typical male rap singer is about 150 hz but lowest notes of bass guitar are at 60 hz or below
