Wind turbines’ noise, flicker ruin countryside
The Aug. 21 letter writer who vacationed on the Jersey Shore and stated that the wind turbines added to their entertainment and enjoyment should have them in his back yard. His family doesn’t have to listen to the noise pollution when running intermittently day and night.
They sound like the whirl of a jet engine piercing through the air. The shadow flicker created by the sun shining through the blades acts like a strobe light blinking in your windows. Wildlife is leaving the areas where turbines are now perched like monsters, ruining the once beautiful countrysides.
They will be a permanent fixture for years to come. Would you like to purchase a home with your hard-earned money and raise your family in a community surrounded by 100 wind turbines?
