    Your link clearly explains how counties are setting excessive limits to effectively ban wind farms, like having a 1 mile radius near any property when only 1000 feet is required or demanding it makes less noise than a dishwasher.

    The reasons for these limitations are to keep us dependent on gas and coal for as long as possible. This is outright corruption, shame on the ones defending it.

        Do you plan to sleep on a wind turbine?

        If I put a dishwasher 100ft away, can you still hear it? What about 100ft and an insulated wall?
