For more than a decade, Big Wind has been lying about the adverse health effects of turbine noise. But in yet another case — this one in Ireland — courts are finding that citizens who have sued over noise pollution generated by giant wind turbines have valid complaints, and judges are ordering Big Wind to pay up. The latest decision came this week when a court in Dublin ordered the permanent shuttering of three of the six Nodex wind turbines at the Gibbet Hill wind project in County Wexford.
It is a historic ruling. It is the first time a court in Ireland has ordered the shutdown of a wind project.
The ruling came after a 12-year legal battle launched by Raymond Byrne and Lorna Moorhead, who complained that turbine noise from the Gibbet Hill project was causing sleep disturbance, stress, and anxiety, and had destroyed the use and enjoyment of their property. One of the turbines was located about 1,000 meters from their house. In addition to ordering the shutdown of the turbines, which were built in 2013, the court ordered the project’s owner, ABO Energy Ireland, to pay Byrne and Moorhead $343,000 in compensation and another $68,000 for “aggravated damages.”
