Abstract: This Discussion Paper describes a significant but overlooked potential threat to the environment, community/business interests and land itself posed by wind turbine mechanical vibrations. Their power and frequencies have been measured, and in Ireland magnified similar vibrations caused significant harm. Given the nature of this problem the author is calling on relevant authorities to exercise increased caution when considering turbine installations until urgent threat assessment is completed.
