Why Are States Reevaluating Wind Energy?

As the best wind energy sites have already been used and as wind subsidies decimate state funding, states are reconsidering their stance on what has become industrial wind energy. Opposition is mounting among residents regarding the loss of scenic views, the noise from the wind blades, the lights that shine at night and a lack of public notice about where wind turbines will be erected. States are now considering regulating wind energy as wind farms move closer to more heavily populated areas and are turning the landscape into a "giant industrial complex." States are also concerned about wind subsidies that could be used for other essential expenses such as schools, highways and prisons.
