8/11/08 Why Do We Need Setbacks From Wind Tubines? The picture worth a thousand words:

WHY DO WE NEED SETBACKS FURTHER THAN 1000 FEET FROM OUR HOMES?

The picture below shows two recently built industrial wind turbines in Wisconsin's Fond Du Lac County.
Now find the farm house.
If you live in Rock County and if you think this can't happen in your township, think again. Developers call it "prospecting" and they've been prospecting in the townships of Union, Magnolia, Spring Valley, Center and Janesville. And these are just the ones we know about.
Think again and then attend your next town board Plan and Zoning meeting and ask them to adopt an ordinance to protect your family and your home. The wind developers tell us that wind turbines sited this close will have no impact on the property value of this home.  What do you think? Would you buy this place?
