If you don't want to live
near a road, power station or
wind farm, surely that's as good a reason as you need to challenge the argument for their construction
near you — to ask why it was necessary, rather than take the claims that it is necessary at face
value.
Property
values: there may be justification for the claim that
wind farms reduce property
values if the
nearest turbine is very close, say considerably less than 1 km from a home, and property
values may decline slightly and temporarily in response to the negativity that sometimes surrounds a proposed
wind farm, but almost all the credible studies show no decline in the
value of land
near wind farms.
