Arizona bill would establish 6 mile setback for wind turbines to protect citizens | Eastern North Carolina Now

Concerns about the negative impact on human health from wind turbines have been set out in World Health Organization standards issued for Europe which called wind turbines a "serious health hazard".  Similar concerns have led courts in a number of countries including Australia, Ireland, Norway, and France to block wind turbine construction near residential areas.  In the US the issue allowed an Indian tribe to halt the erection of wind turbines.

Now legislation is working its way through the Arizona House of Representatives to require a significant setback of wind turbines from adjoining property owners.  HB 2223 would require any new wind turbines to be erected at least 6 miles from any adjoining property owner unless that owner signed a written consent, and a 12 mile setback from any residential property.

In Europe the conservative state government in Bavaria has been at the forefront of wind turbine setbacks from occupied residential or commercial or institutional property, prohibiting them any closer than a distrance equal to 20 times the height of the wind turbine.  These setbacks have now been in effect for a number of years.
