Wind turbines are the fastest growing energy source in the US and as wind farms spread across the landscape there have been worries that they’ll affect the value of nearby homes. No need to worry say researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
That’s good news since wind turbines are sprouting up like dandelions. More wind power was installed in 2012 – about 13 gigawatts — than new coal-fired or gas-fired electricity generation. The US is on a pace to install 2,750 turbines a year, according to the Lawrence Berkeley study.
So what happens when a wind farm pops up next door?
