The airport " not in my back yard " syndrome will also expand to wind turbines. If I recall correctly, Senator Ted Kennedy was instrumental in stopping wind turbines 20 miles off shore from Cape Cod in MA where he has a residence, someone from MA correct the statement if this not true.

" The culprit, they say, is the whooshing sound from the five industrial wind turbines near the 6-acre spread where they have lived for 37 years. "I don't think anyone should have to put up with this," says Gerry Meyer, who compares the sound to a helicopter or a jet taking off. "

"As more turbines are built, the noise they create is stirring debate. Industry groups such as the American Wind Energy Association say there's no proof they make people sick, but complaints of nausea, insomnia and other problems have surfaced near wind farms across the USA "
