Should Wind Turbines Be In Cities?

By J.P. Michaud
March 1, 2007

As the energy corporations rush to capitalize on the public's desire for alternative forms of energy, they will be building ethanol plants and wind farms as fast as possible. It is imperative that citizens decide NOW whether or not these industrial plants should be located in residential or urban areas - or in rural, less populated areas. Citizens should learn all they can. On the next page, I have provided several documents and links regarding wind turbines to help you decide where you think wind farms should be located.
