Deals in the Heartland: Renewable Energy Projects, Local Resistance, and How Law Can Help disproportionately focuses on the negative and the opposition’s talking points with respect to wind energy projects. While it is important to highlight the challenges we are facing, it is also important to highlight the actual data. For example, the article reiterates a lot of the negative impacts around wildlife, sound, health, aesthetics, shadow flickering, and property values. But even though the article mentions that people who are skeptical of wind projects will say they are concerned about health, there are hundreds of studies over 20 years that show that wind turbines do not have significant health impacts. Similarly, with shadow flicker, there are studies that show it does not result in negative health impacts. Recent property value studies indicate there may be an initial dip upon mention of a project and during construction, but they recognize a recovery over time within five to seven years. There is no evidence of long-term property value impacts adjacent to these projects.
