Wind Farms Cause Property Value to TANK by FIFTY SIX PERCENT in Vermilion County Illinois.

This summer, APEX Wind Energy constructed a wind farm which is now owned by IKEA (the build-it-yourself furniture company).

This real life example of property value loss due to wind turbines constructed nearby is a 5.19 Acre tract of land featuring multiple outbuildings, grain bins, mature trees, nice home, and swimming pool situated on a very attractive well-maintained property.  The address is 36178 N 990 East Rd, Rossville, Illinois.

This property sold approximately May 27, 2014, at $295,000 BEFORE any wind turbines were constructed.

During June/July/August/November, the landscape surrounding this home took on dramatic changes.  Giant industrial wind turbines, which are known to cause sleep depriving noise and terribly uncomfortable shadow flicker, were constructed in adjacent fields, perhaps 1,500 feet away from this property.

Now, on December 21, 2014, just 6 months after selling for $295,000, this property was listed for sale at a starting asking price of $129,900.

The reason for such a horrendous price drop is because of the known health issues caused by living near wind turbines.  Sleep deprivation is the most common side effect from the low frequency noise these machines produce.  The “heavy thumping” air pressure pulse easily penetrates through the walls of homes and creates a level of discomfort for many people.

If a wind company or local decision maker tries to tell you or simply believes that wind turbines are quiet and/or do not cause property value losses, they are either insane, stupid, joking, lying, misinformed, criminals, heathens, or are in some sick state of mind.

Some wind farm opponents (victims) have made explicit suggestions to people who live near proposed targeted areas:

1.)  If a wind company salesman/attorney comes knocking on your door promising a whole lot of good things to come, get out whatever you use to protect your property and loved ones and run them off your land.  Tell them to never, ever come back again.

2.)  Immediately seek help in making sure none of your neighbors or absentee landowners have signed up any of their properties.

3.)  Wind farm developers prey on vulnerable people.  Especially seek out and assist those who are elderly so they don’t mistakenly sign any contracts with these wind energy companies.

4.)  Don’t be shy about taking a stand for what is good, proper, and right.  If there is anything you can count on, the fact that wind energy is a giant scam is something you can take to the bank.

Look at the below document as detailed proof of exactly what can happen when noisy wind turbines are constructed around your property.

Print them and show them to your neighbors, school district officials, church family, and political decision makers near and far.  It is best to make everyone informed of what is going on within industrial wind turbine clusters.
