But after reading and researching these justifiable issues such as sleeplessness, nausea, shadow flicker, turbine fires and tower collapses, etc. and just the effect of the general health to human and animal, we are quickly changing our minds! We are even considering not making an offer on this property we love so much because we are now worried that neighbors will set them up and it will ruin our "little slice of paradise". But we still need more evidence to convince us either way.

Go wind power! Here is an energy source that does not contribute to global warming. I live near these and see them almost every day. It serves as a reminder to always be 'green' and be aware of positive things we can do for the environment.

We are in the midst of fighting the arrival of a wind farm that will bring with it over 120 massive turbines. I agree that Americans can do better, but unfortunately, the potential for making big money won't allow that to happen fast enough to prevent these awful structures from cluttering our landscape and ruining our rural quality of life. Thank you for sharing your story.
