Living with the impact of windmills
November, 2008
by Chris Luxemburger
Summary:
Chris Luxemburger is a real estate broker, director of the Brampton Real Estate Board and the Chairperson of the Real Estate By-Laws Committee in Ontario, Canada. In his survey of the three-year sales records for the Melancthon Wind Plant and surrounding area, Luxemburger found significant differences among 600 properties within and beyond three nautical miles of the plant. Those in proximity to wind turbines had either a higher rate of non-sale (11% vs. 3%) or took twice as long to sell. He summarizes his findings in this presentation.
(Luxemburger is also an active aviation enthusiast and pilot and comments in his presentation on the impacts of the turbines on recreational flying.)
