Netherlands: University Scientist Ordered Not to Talk to Media About Windmills

 

My colleagues over at Vlad Tepes and Gates of Vienna sent me a Dutch news video with a request to translate it from Dutch to English (see above). It concerns a scientist at the University of Leiden named Jan de Laat, who is claiming that wind-generated turbines are causing disturbances in the sleep of people living nearby and that this is leading to heart problems. Whether one agrees with this thesis or not, his employers in the university were none too happy with his public statements and ordered him not to give an interview to the media. That is worthy of note.

Translation of the above NPO2 video is by Fousesquawk with sub-titles by Vlad Tepes and Gates of Vienna.
