Wind turbines help create energy but also disturb peoples' homes

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!

Town of Sheldon, Wyoming County, New York. Jessica lives in the Town of Sheldon located in Wyoming County, New York. Her home is surrounded by Invenergy's High Sheldon wind energy facility with 75 1.5 MW GE SLE turbines. The total installed capacity for the facility is 112.5 megawatts. The towers stand 397 feet in height, spanning from tower base to blade tip. The turbines were commissioned in January 2009 and the impact of the massive animated structures on nearby residents was immediate as Jessica describes in her own words.
