Jessica lives in the Town of Sheldon located in Wyoming County, New York. Her home is surrounded by Invenergy’s High Sheldon wind energy facility with 75 1.5 MW GE SLE turbines. The total installed capacity for the facility is 112.5 megawatts. The towers stand 397 feet in height, spanning from tower base to blade tip. The turbines were commissioned in January 2009 and the impact of the massive animated structures on nearby residents was immediate, as Jessica describes in her own words.

“This is a sad picture of me in the garden, which is about 1360 feet from one of the turbines. Gardening used to be fun and relaxing. Now it creates tenseness, anger, anxiety and nausea”—Gerry Meyer
