Good info. When establishing wind energy, care should be taken to properly consult & take care of the residents in the surrounding area.

I knew noise could be an issue with wind turbines but I'd never thought about shadow flicker. Very interesting. Guess that adds to the NIMBY complex when it comes to wind farms but I'm not sure it's as bad as living next to a busy airport or train line.
