$5,000 Buys A Lot Of Ear Plugs
-
Wind turbines -- I guess "windmill" isn't the right term -- are becoming more popular, despite some evidence that they don't really work all that well. And they're way noisy. So when companies propose building windmill... er, turbine farms near people's homes, there's understandable NIMBYism. How to get past that? The company trying to build one such farm is offering the neighbors $5,000 to shut up and promise not to sue over the noise and bother. Would $5,000 do it for you? Is that enough to put up with the constant drone? (New York Times)
