Fountain Wind Project
The links below are provided to inform you on the many issues concerning industrial size wind farms. If you really want to know what wind turbines less than a half mile from Moose Camp will be like, drive up Hwy 299 to Hatchet Ridge and then up the ridge and stand near the windmills. The noise, vibration, air pressure changes and yes shadow flicker are all there.
Proposed Windmill Map
Custom Google Earth Map with proposed locations of closest windmills to Moose Camp.
Note location of Hatchet Ridge Windmills on the map and think how they look from Moose Camp at approximately four miles away.
Proposed Fountain windmills would be as close as one half mile from Moose Camp.

Existing Weather Data Tower Location
Hatchet Ridge Windmill Viewed From Half-mile
Above is what a 450 foot tall windmill might look like from Moose Camp Hall. The windmills proposed surrounding Moose Camp would be 593 feet tall. If you look real close at photo below (left of tree behind windsock) you can see existing 200 foot weather data tower from Moose Avenue.

Initial thoughts after some research into industrial windmill farms and their location to residential neighborhoods. At this stage in the process the people responsible for the draft environmental impact report were gathering concerns form those who would be affected.
