Local residents file lawsuit against Upper Michigan windfarm

[Kaleva]

"The first wind farm in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has reduced the property values of nearby residents, ruined people’s sleep and put bats, eagles and other birds at risk, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court.

Eleven people and a group representing others who own property are suing Heritage Sustainable Energy and the U.S. government, seeking to block any expansion and require more study on the impact of 14 turbines near the village of Garden in Delta County’s Garden Peninsula, which juts into northern Lake Michigan."

Having read a number of articles on this, I haven't seen where the plaintiffs are asking for monetary compensation or that the windfarm be shutdown.

1. interesting

If the noise is actually that bad, something is wrong with the turbines.

Bird and bat studies are always done prior to the erection of the turbines. So many people sue after they sign leases it's ridiculous. They need to research first instead of suing after
