Throughout the seven months of Lee County’s hearings covering Mainstream Renewable Energy’s petition to construct approximately 53, 50-story tall, wind turbines within Hamilton and East Grove townships, numerous homeowners residing within the completed Shady Oaks and Big Sky wind projects presented insurmountable evidence/documentation that already existing wind turbines are depriving them of the peaceful enjoyment and nuisance-free usage of their properties. Following is a small sampling:

Kathryn and Kendall Guither farm 480-plus acres in Lee/Bureau Counties. Forty-story Big Sky turbines are located 1,400, 1,700 and 2,200 feet from their home’s foundation. They suffer from constant high frequency noise, inside/outside shadow flicker, ringing in their ears, TV signal distortion and picture loss. They are unable to sleep with windows open in spring, summer and fall.

Mr. Guither suffers nausea and vertigo when he works in his hay fields and must reschedule field work when shadow flicker is present.
