At the time when this video was made, the state of Wisconsin allowed 400 foot tall turbines to be sited 1000 feet from non-participating residents homes unless a town or county adopted an ordinance which gave residents greater protection for reasons of health and safety. In 2009, legislation was passed by the State that stripped towns, villages and counties of the ability to create more protective ordinances than those approved by the Public Service Commission. This video was one in a series intended to help Wisconsin legislators understand why the PSC's setbacks and noise limits were not adequate enough to protect residents from noise, shadow-flicker and other problems associated with poorly sited industrial wind turbines.
