\u2014Allen Haas, Sworn testimony to the Wisconsin Public Service Commission<\/a> (8\/24\/10), regarding the Blue Sky Greenfield Wind Energy Center<\/a><\/p>\n

I have three wind turbines on my property and get $4,000 for each one.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been 2 years now with the turbines and everyone in the community is irritable and short, they snap back. The best of friends for 35 years, but everyone just snaps.<\/p>\n

People are not really mad directly at the wind turbines or even know what they are mad about, they\u2019re just mad, aggressive.<\/p>\n

The closest one to my house is 3,000 feet away—way too close.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t get sleep at night because they roar like at an airport. I get shadow flicker in my house, but down in the village of Johnsburg where those are about another 1,500 feet away from the turbines—oh probably 4,500 feet total those blades are throwing shadows right over all the house roof tops in entire village . . . that\u2019s really bad.<\/p>\n

All of our TV\u2019s got knocked out too. I can only get local channels when the turbine is turned in a certain direction. 97% of the time, we got no reception. There is no mitigation either.<\/p>\n

I go to the doctor and now I\u2019m on a lot of different medications. I\u2019ve been to the hospital a couple of times in the past two years with chest pains. And they just can\u2019t figure out what it is, but now we\u2019re all being diagnosed with wind turbine syndrome.<\/p>\n

And I sure got it. It definitely causes depression. Memory loss is the worse issue. I see it so bad in myself and especially my parents who are older. But they are at the point where they just don\u2019t care anymore because there\u2019s nothing they can do anyhow.<\/p>\n

My dad is a totally different person since these things went up. He stays in bed all day now. Even if he does get up to eat, he just goes back to bed. There is no will anymore. I ask the doctor—how are they doing this to us? He just says he doesn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

We Energies<\/em> called today and they are going to be spraying for weeds, so I asked if there were any more plans for windmills? They said, they don\u2019t know. I told em . . . \u201cThis area is completely destroyed, it would make more sense to just put a few up around here as opposed to destroying the rest of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

I got turbines and the money doesn\u2019t pay off in the end. I\u2019ve gotta spend more on cutting around those things and all them cables. It has destroyed my farmland.<\/p>\n

I feel really bad for the folks who don\u2019t have contracts cause they\u2019re still all stuck. Even if a realtor wants to sell a place, the first question a buyer asks is if there are windmills in the area. They just hang up.<\/p>\n

They should be paying everyone around who is affected, that way—everyone who wants to move could get out and move. So many want to move and leave, but they can\u2019t sell their property. The developers deny devaluation, but it\u2019s real . . . the ones without contracts lost half the value of their property and can\u2019t move because they have no money, still trying to pay off their homes. At least if you got contracts and enough windmills, you can move out.<\/p>\n

It turned out to be a real shocker. This whole thing is not right, it should not be done in small communities, but you know, these are just simple country folk who do just don\u2019t say anything. Even if it\u2019s bad, they just go along with it cause what else are they supposed to do?<\/p>\n

If I could write out a check from all the money they gave me and give it back, wake up tomorrow morning and all the turbines be gone, that\u2019d be the best thing that ever happened to me.<\/p>\n

I affirm that these comments are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
