Did you know?

* Communication interruption... television and cell phone signals reflect off rotating turbine blades causing interference

*Risk to quantity and quality of well water... construction of huge foundations and construction run-off can affect area water wells

* Safety issues including: Deteriorating road conditions, minimum to zero security, stray voltage, fire hazards, constant maintenance requiring unknown service reps to be routinely in neighborhood, increased lightning strikes in vicinity

"Loss of wildlife habitat due to service roads and mechanical structures in otherwise natural areas - Industry commissioned studies often flawed and inadequate
increased traffic, increased chance of auto and pedestrian accidents

* Noise- low frequency and other noise caused most often by the aerodynamic slicing of the atmosphere - the #1 complaint of nearby residents

* Strobe effects- which flood onto properties and into homes when the blades eclipse the rising or setting sun - varies with season and location of towers

* Visual dominance- dose proximity to residences causes huge machines to be the most dominant element in the local experienced living environment and often cast large rotating shadows

* Blade tip speeds average between 200 and 300 mph when hub speeds are approx. 20-35 rpm's- creating the common danger of ice and blade fragment throw

"Loss of natural amenities and visual, quiet enjoyment - the outdoors no longer offers respite, loss of recreation

*Property devaluation -homes within one to two miles of commercial wind development have suffered significant losses documented to 30% and also fail to appreciate as they normally would without such development
