BLADE WATCH - A SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE FRAMEWORK

We utilize three basic, yet profound concepts: Establishing goals that everyone understands and supports; putting the right people into the right position to accomplish the goals; and most importantly, a daily process that encourages people to work on the most important things to reach the goals.

 

 

We all have opinions of Wind turbine farms. Let us be honest these are not farms!

 

It is true however that a few farms are turning to the offers of wind turbine companies. The longevity of this income is still questionable.

 

Before selling key parts of the family farm, you better do some homework and get your lawyer to review every step.

 

In today’s world its interesting how just a few can affect the property value of thousands. Landscapes will change for century’s

 

County Commissioners have been and will be hard pressed from multiple groups!

Our groups mission is to help the commissioners with the labyrinth of options that are best for the county and fairly inform and build awareness to the public at the same time

 

A compact list of issues

 

• Setbacks and safe distance

• Road and bridge concerns over time - who will pay? Taxpayers

• Property values of rural county homes

• Maintenance issues on the turbines

• Expensive

• Decline in property values. In counties that are educated on industrial wind only 5-10% of the people in a proposed project will actually participate, according to National Wind Watch, September 2017      https://www.wind-watch.org/

• The rapidly spinning blades produce a weak but distinctive noise, as well as disruptions in air pressure which can have an effect on health including headaches and sleep problems, according to National Wind Watch      https://www.wind-watch.org/

• Inadequate decommission plans

• Impeded aerial applications

• Permanent reshaping of rural landscape

• This is just the start.
