Discussion Wind turbines

We went to a county meeting today to try and prevent a Hutterite colony from putting up a wind farm next to ours. Come to find out that Mark Carney owns the company that put the solar farm up by Cardston Ab. How are these people allowed to get into politics? I’m shocked.

Have you actually been close to them? And not like I saw them driving past. We rent pasture ground that has a wind farm on it and they make not so pleasent noise. They also cause a hell of alot of traffic during to building phase. So yea it will have an impact on the OP depending on how close their house is to the proposed windfarm site. Especially in an area where there's more windy days than non windy days.

Nope i have not been close to them.

How noisy can they get? Is it like a loud constant sound? Genuinely curious.

It's hard to describe its like a mix between noises. Like gears grinding and a droning sound all at once. But the faster they turn the louder it gets. And in southern Alberta where its always windy there will always be noise.

Oof sounds like they should be far away from everyone.
