There are a lot of unanswered questions when it comes to this energy solution.
The proposed windmills for our area are not the cute little postcard windmills from Holland.
These are massive turbines up to 150 metres in height. They create noise and vibration and have the ability to cause health problems.
The companies constructing these farms are rushing through the approval process, banking on government incentives and a public that believes anything green is good.
There is also the issue of esthetics and property values. Take a tour near the latest wind farm outside of Wheatley.
Until one is up close to one of these giants, it is hard to comprehend their imposing nature.
There is a place for wind farms, but it must not interfere with a person's right to enjoy their property.
