VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia – Offshore wind farms planned for coastlines nationwide show there could be unintended consequences in the push for clean energy.
The nation’s largest wind farm is under construction about 27 miles off the Atlantic coast in Virginia Beach. Pretty soon the coastal view will be overtaken by giant silhouettes of nearly 200 turbines, something neighbors say Dominion Energy allegedly lied to them about when first pitching the project.
Several neighbors living close to work along the coastline say they had no idea they would suffer from wind farm construction. At the local community meeting hosted by Dominion amid a rising tide of complaints, Susanna H. Miller expressed her discontent loudly, stating, “They lied, that’s all there is to it – they lied.”
“This is torture to me. I have been tortured nonstop for three weeks or more – and I am a human tuning fork,” Susanna went on to say.
John Knight lives nearby and says the noise is making him crazy. The loud vibrations from the construction are blamed for cracks in home foundations.
“We’ve experienced our house shaking, loud noises, woken up at night,” said Knight.
