An editorial in DeKalb County Illinois is calling for local restrictions on a new wind farm that would address:
- light pollution
- minimize the disruption of blinking red lights
- minimal or eliminated shadow flicker from the blades blocking sunlight
- consistent setback requirements
What should be required of the wind energy companies:
- pay the cost to improve roads
- guarantee property values
Who should be protected by the ordinance(s) according to the DeKalb editorial:
- land owners
- rural residents
