WIND FARMS DO NOT HURT PROPERTY VALUES, STUDY FINDS
First-ever national analysis of data refutes claim advanced by wind energy opponents
The presence of commercial-scale wind turbines does not appear to harm "viewshed" property values, according to a study the Renewable Energy Policy Project (REPP) presented on May 20 at WINDPOWER 2003, the annual Conference and Exhibition of the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) in Austin, Texas. Hardcopy of the report and a downloadable version are available on the REPP website, www.repp.org. See the AWEA press release at http://www.awea.org/news/news030520prp.html
