Wind Turbine - Experience Noise International Exchange

I live in a rural area where there is some opposition to the setup of a small scale wind energy project ( 8 to 10 turbines).

Nobody wants anything in their backyard. That includes you and me. However I realise that a wind turbine energy generation is not as harmful or detrimental to humans as mining coal, the possible poisoning from gas or petrol fuel used for steam turbines. While nuclear is extremely clean, there are problems with temperature change in the water as a facility cannot be 100% efficient. Wind turbine will not always run at 100% of their capacity, but they can be used to decrease the number of coal or gas powered plants that need to be built to keep up with the increasing demands in electrical power.

As for people complaining about the noise generated from wind turbines, or should I say the noise that people anticipate, I make an open suggestion on the internet that one should consider an international exchange live-in experience with people who have wind turbines in proximity to their land understand what to expect with the proximity of wind turbines.
