I have just been reading a document where exactly the same concerns as that posted above are causing objections around Scarborough in Canada.

For further details 'Google' - wind generators off Scarborough

Note there is a link to a video of the actual speech at the bottom of the text. Worth watching and of course listening.

found this speech fascinating, but as its always been in the back of my mind, and this guy knows his stuff. got big issues over our end on scout moor , and when the next meeting comes , this will be useful, to say the least, my concern was initially birds habitat, trouble is who listens. if the government are aware of it , why do they allow the big boys to keep shafting us. rossy.

The government like to be seen do be doing the right thing in investing in green energy reality don;t come into it.

I think it ironic that the photograph includes am ugly pylon and electrical wiring for size comparison!

I was out in the picturesque village of Alderton yesterday and realised how close to this village the turbines will actually be they look like they will be less than a mile away from the houses.
Why can they not put them away from peoples houses these properties are worth a lot of money some are worth a substantial amount are they going to be compensated when the price of their livelihoods drops, when they can no longer sell these homes, when their health starts to be affected.
Pylons are not 100s of feet in the air they only put the pylon so you would get an idea of the size of these turbines.
