Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The boy shakes you. So far, Kennedy has made all kinds of long stays, changed critical health protocols (often with difficulty), and fired many people who seemed to be doing really important work. In many encounters with many health professionals, Kennedy seems to ignore many of the most pressing threats to the health of the American people (you know, they are added when they become a concern of people’s positions, and, they add to the worst for millions of Americans. The list of enemies of Kennedy’s has included things like 5G, injections, Tylenol and, now, international wind farms.
It seems the head of HHS has a new preoccupation. They may not be heavy in wind graveyards but they seem to shine in wind farms (did you see what I did there?). Bloomberg reports that Kennedy’s agency is now investigating whether the wind farms are doing … something bad … or something. Output writes:
At the end of the summer, HHS ordered the CDC’s national center for occupational safety and health to prepare a study on the impact of wind farms based on bad businesses used to connect cabinets HHS used to connect electrical cabinets, said one of the people. Proponents of Wind say it does no harm.
Yes, the re-supporting of the cases in the American seas, obviously, is not that big of a deal but, according to our new health leader, health islands full of turbines can be a big threat to having a high quality sea. Combustion aside, there is some scientific interest in whether wind farms can cause health problems for those who live near them, but that investigation has not revealed anything alarming. One study says that people who live or work near wind turbines can report “reduced quality of life, irritation, stress, anxiety, worry, cognitive decline, and a takeaway that many of us may not have had without some form of external integration.
It’s good to note – as did Bloomberg – that President Trump hates wind farms. He is often quoted, calling them “so sensitive and very bad” and surprising them with “driving whales is crazy.” During his recent tenure in office, his administration has made significant efforts to end offshore wind farm projects. Is there a connection here between the President’s new act and Kennedy’s New? Who can really say?
Gizmodo reached out to HHS and the White House for comment, and will update this post if we hear back.
