Neighbors are in a whirlwind of an issue with that....
Town decided they needed to put up 2-5 big windmills to be green.
They decided to cross the county line, and come into my county, and condemn some farm ground and build some windmills. Meanwhile their own county has better wind locations and less population density which suits wind generaiton much better.
Been a big dustup over this.
The local town has discovered it's really cool to condemn land in other places to create benifits for the townfolk, and crap on rural folk who can't vote for or against them.

That makes the personal homeowner sized deals as just kinda toys, and there is always downtime for maitenence, etc - ok if you own 100 mills, a trouble if you own one. The govt dollars is nice, but the net result is that the million dollar plus each windfarms work out, the single small unit doesn't really reach it's potential.
