facts, analysis, exposure of wind energy's real impacts
Noteworthy
We're doing whatever we feel we can to stop development until such time as the medical concerns are (studied). We also have concerns with minimum distance separations-- we're aware some of the units could fail and cases where the blades turn so fast they hit the base of the tower and cause it to lose structural integrity. We've also heard about ice chunks falling off the blades in winter. We didn't initially support the (not-in-my-backyard) people, but maybe there's a valid reason why they don't want it in their backyards.
