What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts.
A year ago a private company was given permitting and installed a HUGE 1.65 megawatt wind turbine 1600 feet from the back of my home. There was no abutter notification( although technnically we are not direct abutters, as town owned land is between the properties. )
The turbine is causing me all sorts of physical problems including dizziness tinnitis, inability to sleep and concentrate and on and on. I know it is from the turbine because I can directly relate the symptoms to the wind and they go away when I leave the area for a few hours. This is a common set of symptoms being medically studied internationally and looks to be related to low frequency air pressure changes ... akin to inner ear issues and the vestibular system in certain sensitive persons ... there is even a named set of symptoms called wind turbine syndrome.
I have exhausted the political options to no avail, made complaints and basically his money talks wide and high. The green lobby is also all over helping the political machine and I am just getting sicker and sicker.
Anyway, we own 6 acres and built our beautiful little home 9 years ago but we have to try to move to save my health. I would take a trailer away from this beast anywhere at this point.
Now we find out we need full disclosure of the adverse health effects or we face liability to future buyers or tenants. That's gonna be a problem that devalues out property further.
The thing also towers over our house which will make it very hard to sell... and even if we can the value has probably plummeted by at least 25 to 30percent this year just because of the turbine.
So, our property would have sold last year at about $600,000 conseratively.
This guy that owns the turbine paid for it with government greenie stimulus grants ( not loans ) and makes $2000 to 3500 a DAY on the thing and it never stops... It pounds away at our home and heads 24/7.. some days are better than others but we are pretty much in living hell now.
So, we are hoping to somehow hold this jerk responsible for the loss of our personal assetts. Which by the way are about all we have... does this kind of case happen? He is definately profiting from our loss.
any opinions of our chances or advise would be appreciated...
