Devalued their property? What's going to devalue their property is when they have to decide between a warm home and burning their furniture and wall boards to stay warm.

Why do people poop, and then complain when there is a sewage plant being built to handle it? Why do we complain that the lines at the airport is too long, yet we don't want an extra runway?

Sometimes I think it would be better to not try and make a better choice in this world and let global warming destroy all these rural communities. I appreciate the thousands of rural residents that support wind but the one person that is against it can be so annoying. Wind turbines are built far enough from properties that noise is not an issue. I grew up next to a four lane highway but didn't complain every time a car went by. People live near railroad tracks in Chicago and get used to it. People need to stop whining and appreciate clean energy. People need to visit the Indiana Illinois border and see the lovely coal piles. Everytime it rains it washes mercury and sulfur into Lake Michigan, which by the way is Chicago's source of drinking water. If everyone saw that they would def support clean energy.
