Germany seems to be moving toward Wind Energy in a big way and the personal economic fallout of those near the turbines leaves much to be desired.
Low frequency noise, flickering shadows from turbine blades, and collapsed property values near the turbines makes life miserable near wind turbines.
Adding to the problem is the lack of any regulation on where turbines can be located.
We may have dodged the bullet in Floyd for now, but wind power developers and green lobbyists are hungry for government grants and will keep on trying as long as crony capitalism is encouraged.
