With respect to the farmer's choice, zoning is a suitable method of control. I'm a strong supporter of property rights, however they are not absolute in all cases. For example, if a farmer wanted to site a hazardous waste site on his property he would be prohibited due to the impact on others. No difference with power generation. Would you be as in-favor of your neighbor for example locating a coal-fired power plant on his property?
What rights has anyone got to inflict any hardship or illness on a locality? I passed a bloody windfactory this AM............ Flicker and Strobe,dangereous for driving but my God what if you had an epiliptic child near one of those useless whirlygigs?
