    I don’t mind windmills but I’d hate having them directly in my backyard. Between the noise and the constant moving shadows, I’d probably go mad.

      truly a most unbearable ruckus, how will you live

      seriously people freak out about the nonexistent noise of wind turbines, meanwhile they merrily live next to high-traffic roads that not only have studies to show how much the noise harms you, there’s also the lovely air pollution to breathe in!

        Screw me for having personal preferences and sensory issues I guess. The noise in the video is more than noticeable and I would hate having it to hear it 24/7.
