Petition for a safe renewable wind ordinance in the town of Libertyville
We, the undersigned, believe a renewable energy plan must no endanger our four most important non-renewables: our families, our homes, our community, our land.
Aldridge Electric has built a wind turbine within 250 ft of residential property lines. It is very disruptive to our lives. It is obtrusive, incessant, loud and a nuisance.
For reasons of health and safety associated with noise, shadow flicker and other concerns, wind turbines should not be built any closer than 1 mile or more from residential . . .

Letter to the Presidents of Canadian Veterans Associations

They were surprised and shocked to see 8 windmills turning and flashing at 10 kilometers to the north . . .
