"Utility Asks Court To Slap Down Excessive Wind Turbine Noise Finding"

It's one of many that seem to prove that wind energy it's not really ready for "prime time"...

Jack Spencer recently reported on this on the Michigan Capitol Confidential website:
"Unlike other power generators, the only means of mitigating wind turbine noise is by increasing the distance from the turbine to homes or to reduce the power output of the turbines themselves,' Martis said. 'Our review of the noise study shows that the turbines exceed the county noise limits at roughly 30 percent output. If the courts order CMS to curtail their output to such levels, as justice would demand, the price of energy from that project will rise substantially."
