I've heard people around me saying they make people sick. By spinning, I guess?

    For the same reason as WiFi supposedly making people sick.

    To be clear, what I mean by that is "its utter horse shit".

    WiFi at least does go through you. It's harmless, even if it was four orders of magnitude more powerful it'd just cause heating, but there's contact.

    If I had to think of a reason a windmill could cause illness, I'd guess infrasound, but the the proponents seem to think it's something about the way they reflect sunlight. It reminds me of when people in England though the first trains were making their cows sick, it's like real bumpkin stuff.

    No, its because they are loud and make flickering shadows. Which is true if you live under them. That's why there are regulations on how close to buildings they are allowed.

    Besides other really stupid things like they explode bats because of infrasound....
