Comment on The Future of Distributed Wind in the US: Unlocking Terawatt-Level Potential

Comments

Wind turbines are loud. Do we really want to have them everywhere?

Cars are much louder, dirtier, more dangerous. And they're everywhere, all the time and much much closer to human settlements than wind turbines.

I've never heard a wind turbine despite being within less than a mile of hundreds of them. They really aren't that loud unless you are right up next to them. Maybe the old ones were that bad?
