A Major problem of windmills is a problem called shadow flicker. "Shadow flicker" - the effect of the sun shining at a low angle through the moving blades, which means they might have to be shut off at sunset and sunrise if built near houses or if a house is built near a windmill. This is an effect that wind farm operators try not to talk about. Public officials who want the tax dollars that are extracted from windmills fail to address this issue because less hours of operation means less tax dollars will be available.
Public officials can take away your rights with a pen like a packman, a bit at a time. You may not get any compensation to boot. You can call them and tell them that their job is to protect your rights not take them away. Please help us save our farms value. They don't expect to be called. That is why you must do it. They remember the personal calls. Read this call to action and Help Us.
We just found out that there is a large wind mill farm being placed near our son's property in Herkimer County NY. He will probably lose future uses of his property. There will be what is called a 1250' setback requirement that means there will be no new devolopment within that zone. His properety will be in that zone. We have no problem with the windmills on the neighbors property, just don't take away our property rights because of the neighbors use of his property. This amounts to a taking without compensation. I would call this legislative conmdenation. It can happen to you. Bit by bit our public officials use zoning to suit their needs, not to protect ours. If one should not build with 1250' of a wind mill why is a wind mill allowed to be built allowed to be located with 1250' of an existing house? The answer is simple, the public officials don't care about the citizens, they only care about their private agenda.

Please Tell Them not to support this taking...Most concerns are centered on destruction of the vistas and a decrease in property values that will occur if the turbines are built. As farmers we cherish the beauty of our land and detest its destruction. Thanks, Bill Hirst
