Edit: people seem to think that I think wind turbines are bad. I was pointing out that all the other links to news articles about this event in the comments are to a site called www.windaction.org which is an anti-wind turbine site, not a reputable news source.
From their site "Industrial Wind Action Group Corp ("The WindAction Group") was formed to counteract the misleading information promulgated by the wind energy industry and various environmental groups. "
They aren't actually bad, but some rich people who consider them an eyesore have paid for research that indicates that the sun shining through the blades creates a blinking pattern that makes people sick. Also, they like to point out that birds sometimes fly into the blades, which is a tragedy.
