    I think the pros out weigh the cons. We went and stood in the middle of a farm with about 16 turbines and it was super quiet.
    I think we might put an offer in on the house tonight. Here's a link.

    I don't just write studies and pull facts out of my ass.  There are very strict guidelines that must be followed/met when designing/engineering a wind farm.  I've spent the past three years doing this, so I know quite well.  There is so much involved (most of which the public doesn't know about).  For example, in Ontario a Wind Turbine can not be within 120m of a residential dwelling.  So you have to run spatial queries to ensure that your turbine locations are not within 120m of a house.  Then you also have to make sure it's not within a certain distance from things such as watercourses, breeding bird habitats, bat habitats, noise sensitive receptors (ie. hospitals, schools, churches).  The lists go on and on and on.  Once you've made sure that your wind farm meets all these criteria, then you have to submit to the Ministry (of the Environment), where they go over everything and can request that you move turbine locations.  It takes years and years to develop these before they even go into construction.  All the while you must have constant public consultation with the communities involved, where residents are informed of everything that his happening with the project and can let their voices be heard.
     
    For one wind farm project we worked on our public consultation department did a follow up study with those people opposed to having the wind turbines constructed in their community.  For this one community 2 out of 3 people who took issue with the turbines had originally been offered to have one constructed on their property and did not respond to the initial request.  It was not until after they learned how much money their neighbours were making from having a turbine on their property that they started to oppose the idea.
     
    At the end of the day, companies pay millions of dollars to ensure these wind farms will not harm anyone.  9 times out of 10 any firm that is hired to provide a study showing that they do are some mom and pop operation just looking for a quick pay cheque and some publicity, and do not have the means (people, technology, money) to do a proper (ministry approved) study.

    Funny enough I work for a company that does a lot of Environmental Assessment Impact studies for wind farms.  I'm actually working on two right now.
    The companies that construct the wind farms spend millions and millions of dollars to make sure the turbines do not effect the natural environment around them (that's where I come in ... I get paid to do such studies or at least have a hand in them).  They also have to make sure they will not effect any human life around them.  Like it was mentioned earlier in the thread any health problems are psychosomatic.  If the general public knew the strict Ministry guidelines companies have to meet they would largely shut up about these "health" problems.  Case in point one wind farm I worked on only got approved earlier this year and we've been working on it for three years.

    and I think it's funny how RSD encourages music fans to support record stores by selling overpriced records, while FCBD encourages comic book fans to support comic book stores by giving away free comics...

    Just wanted to thank everyone that's donated their hard-earned loot or has purchased this new album. 
     
    Also, all Record Clubbers have been 'serviced' except for the folks that bought the ASC test pressing.  They were a bit too warped for my taste so I had them remade.  Those along with the second retail pressing will be at our warehouse this Tuesday and of course we'll get them shipped out immediately.  I appreciate your patience.  I always seem to get fucked on every project these days be it because of the shipping company or the manufacturer.  There is no perfection in life. 
     
    Peace and Love all!
