Why are wind turbines being rammed down the throats of people who don't want them? They are fine for people who want them, but if their neighbors don't want that noise, why isn't there help for them? I know people who are being forced to move because their neighbor wants the turbines, and the company is putting them within 500 to 750 feet from the home of the people who don't want them.
Why isn't the distance longer when the turbines are placed near a neighbor who doesn't want them? Probably because the company doesn't make much money if the turbines are placed too far apart.
David Docteur from Cape Vincent recently wrote an excellent letter to the Times after visiting the Maple Ridge turbines and interviewing neighbors. Most of the people complained about the noise and the fact that they couldn't get a decent night's sleep. I would think that would tell somebody that the distances should be far greater than 750 feet between the turbines and a neighbor. Why isn't it a mile? I don't think it's fair that these people who don't want turbines near their home are being denied any help.
They have lost their freedom to live where they want.
