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.

Do you really believe that shadow flicker only happens for 5 minutes and what do you base that statement on? Have you ever experienced it first hand and the various situations under which it can occur? Please elaborate to better explain your position and why you believe it's nonsense.

They got up at 6 am or whenever the 5 minutes of shadows cross their house and act like it's happening all the time.<br><br>Sour grapes that your land wasn't chosen. Get over it. What a bunch of nonsense. They got up at 6 am or whenever the 5 minutes of shadows cross their house and act like it's happening all the time.

Sour grapes that your land wasn't chosen. Get over it.
