I am from the town of Empire, which includes the Cedar Ridge Wind Farm located in Fond du Lac County Wisconsin.
There are 44 wind turbines in this project, three of them are within a quarter mile (1,320 feet) from our home. I can see 12 from our door.
Now that the towers are working, people are grumbling. You cannot believe how loud these things are!
