No Wind Farms in Boone County, Indiana

Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) and/or Industrial Generating Plants- "Wind Farms" are currently banned in Boone County, Indiana. We want the Boone County Area Plan Commission, the Boone County Board of Zoning Appeals and the Boone County Commissioners to keep it that way.

We do not want them to adopt new zoning ordinances that would allow for the construction of large industrial scale wind farms and/or allow wind energy conversion systems in Boone County, Indiana.

The construction of any industrial scale wind farms would have a drastic effect on the high quality of life of all residents of the County.

There are many negative issues with Industrial Wind Generating Plants:
1. The Turbines are not an efficient source of "green" energy.
2. They decrease residential property values.
3. There are health issues, such as, Vibro Acoustic Disease and Wind Turbine Syndrome.
4. They created shadow flickers.
5. They create dangerous ice throws.
6. They dry out crops.
7. They kill birds and bats.
8. They are hard to crop dust around.
9. Two-thirds of each "Wind Farm" is subsidized by the government with your tax dollars.
