And in many places, like the Appalachian Mountains, the local people are anxious to diversify away from the coal industry. Since the wind turbines take up so little actual land, the landowners can continue to use their property like they always have. See similar questions...

The Desert Sky site is in a rural setting some distance from homes. Our experience is that native and farm animals are not bothered by the noise from wind projects. The American Wind Energy Association has the following to say about noise, "Large, modern wind turbines have become very quiet. See similar questions...

A wind turbine, which is installed on top of a tall tower, collects kinetic energy from the wind and converts it to electricity that is compatible with a home's electrical system. In a residential application with net metering, a home is served simultaneously by the wind turbine and a local utility. See similar questions...
