Wind turbines good for health.

A recent report produced for the independent body WEIF ("Wind energy is fun") claims to show that, contrary to the claims of people living near wind farms, turbines near homes are actually beneficial. A spokesman for WIEF stated that "The constant dull whooshing noise produced by turbines has been shown to increase the sleeping times of laboratory rats". Apparently rats not kept near turbines spent much more time each day engaged in pointless activity such as foraging and socialising and therefore slept less.
