That is cool! Out of curiosity, how intrusive is living around wine turbines? Is it a problem at all? Or are they mostly unnoticeable?
As for the few turbines in the urban areas, they're completely unnoticable. They're silent and just blend into the background.
The only thing I could maybe see as annoying is the red flashing lights they use to help aircraft see them at night. The flashing is at least synchronized so there isn't a constant twinkling effect.
I'm also from Iowa. It's a really eerie effect driving through a wind farm in the pitch dark! I noticed it most recently on 80 near Newton when they put in a wind farm in the last couple years.
