<DIV class=underlink 
style="FONT-SIZE: 120%; MARGIN: 1em 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 120%"><EM>Standing in a 
home a kilometer away from the nearest wind turbine --one of seventeen at the 
Pubnico Point Wind Farm in Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia --Tony experiences a 
sensation that he describes as "similar to being close to a high power car audio 
sound system playing drums. Both situations cause problems that I would say 
resemble arrhythmia." ...One potential problem associated with wind power is 
noise, like that experienced by Tony. In some locations, residents living near 
wind farms find the sound to be an annoyance. A few, reporting acute and 
persistent health problems, have abandoned their homes, unable to sell them.
