Would like to add however, Turbines should be planned so they don’t upset the esthetic of the community… there should be public discourse.

Yeah – that’s kind of the point here. There was zero meaningful public discourse and these turbines are being located near heavily-populated areas.

I agree. Wind Power rules!!!

Silly… WIND POWER is here to stay… better than a coal refinery…

It would be if it actually worked at an industrial level. Better discover the truth before we sell out the whole state of Ohio to a bunch of farmers and wind developers.

Are wind turbines noisy? I’ve never heard that claim before…

They are if you live 914 feet away as these people will do. The turbine manufacturer, Nordex, recommends a distance of nearly twice as much for homes due to “noise and shadow flicker” – a direct quote from their own website.

Another NIMBY special

Way to go protesters! Let the Governor know these turbines are not clean or green (unless you’re talking about the green that the wind company will make from taxpayer subsidies).
