Yeah, I don't mind them, but that would be annoying.

Thatlightpollution doh....
Also, I can't send you a dm, I can respond but I cannot create, thanks TK, so if you could send me a DM I would greatly appreciate it.
Sounds like I was given false information. Good to hear land owners don’t have to pay.
Although if one was on my land, I’d still set aside some of that money to be on the safe side.
Company could go bankrupt or put some fine print in there or pretty much anything to weasel out of having to repair/dispose of their garbage.
Wind Farm contracts have escrow accounts in them for decommissioning.
It's b******* no matter how many times people say it
Yawn. OP is talking about land he doesn't even live near, don't care
I built a second home there. Look at the picture I posted of my place on the map
So, the "Party of Less Government" wants to restrict what farmers can do with their land, which does not impact the adjacent lands with any form of pollution, whatsoever (unlike CAFOs, which can pollute watersheds for miles around the site, along with the air pollution/smells)
To give you an idea of how fuked I’ll be, my acreage I bought is the little rectangle surrounded by the acres that have the easement on it.
Oh, yeah....ur gonna get the Wind Cancer Rays from all sides there.
Uh...they don't contribute to "light pollution" that affects stargazing. Those are city lights, Cletus.
You have no ****ing clue how much light a windmill farm puts off , do you?
I live about 8 miles from one "cleatus", they sure as shit put off light pollution and when you move out to open space, to enjoy open space, a giant white light and a big ass blinking red light you can see from miles awy are sure as shit light pollution.
I heard that if you let them get installed near you they suck up all the usable wind. No more chimes, kites or cool summer breezes. Sad.
May the record show, another republican from this site has no problem meeting in the real world.... weird..
We have about 225 of them in our district. They are huge money makers for the school and have helped reduce the property tax rate for other property owners by a fairly significant amount.
Lots of people complained when they first put them up, but I'm sure they appreciate it now, or at least they should. Also there's just corn fields and a few rolling hills around here so I can't say that it really messed up anyone's view, unless they're just generally unhappy people.

Yes.
Basically, none, aside from the blinking red warning lights for airplanes.
I’ve asked this question on Facebook in the local groups and there are simply no answers given. Republicans, and the people here protesting this are diehard republicans, are all about private land use until they see it being used for something they see as green, or lefty. Then those individual landowners are absolutely wrong and need to be beaten down by the government.
So much light is emitted from wind turbines they had to put an extra red one on there for aircraft
Based on what I witnessed today at the meeting, politics weren’t t discussed at all.
So they blocking new roads and urban development as well? New subdivisions not an eyesore? Des Moines metro no longer allowed to expand? Highways and interstates (and their actual noise and cancer-causing particulate pollution) getting banned by counties? Why weren't coal and gas power plants built out in the countryside with lights visible for miles banned?
I see a lot of eye sores in my area. Can I request they are taken down?
Most of them in Iowa measure 300’ from the ground to the rotor/hub. If you include a blade length extending vertically up from the rotor it’s closer to 400’ from the ground.
You’re going to be buried in bird carcasses soon and on a daily basis thereafter.
Better invest in a large and sturdy shovel.
We have a ton of eagles here. I was at dad’s place and he had a goat have twins. They were about 4 hours old. We were standing along the fence and a freaking eagle swooped down and grabbed a baby goat and flew off.
It got the 2nd one a few hours later
You continue to speak out of your ass. When you live in an area of pitch black, those put out a ton of light pollution.
Spend some time off concrete and you might start to appreciate what it is I'm speaking of.
