There have been countless pleas for our so-called leaders to spare us the pain and suffering that comes when wind turbines are placed near our homes.

I’ve finally gotten to hear firsthand what these things do when they are 1,900 feet from a home (let alone 1,400 feet). They have noise in the house that “sounds like jets.” They have more than 41/2 months of shadow flicker lasting anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes – in their home. That’s not counting the time they put up with it in their yard.

Sounds minor, huh? You try to concentrate on something when someone is flicking a light switch on and off in your house.
