See me, Feel me, Touch me, Heal me: Wind turbines, culture, landscapes, and sound impressions

Thirty years of North American wind energy acceptance research: What have we learned?

“…The annoyance experienced by people living near utility-scale wind facilities is correlated to more negative attitudes (Fast et al, 2016;Firestone et al, 2015). This annoyance, however, may be more strongly correlated to other characteristics rather than wind turbine sounds (McCunney et al, 2014).…”

“…On the other hand, visual impacts are not universally negative; there is some evidence for positive visual and symbolic perceptions from wind facilities (e.g., Brannstrom et al, 2011;Firestone et al, 2015;Mulvaney et al, 2013a;Phadke, 2010).…”

“…However, throughout the literature, demographic variables such as gender, income, and education level do little to explain variation in wind energy support or attitudes. Where reported, the effects of demographic variables on acceptance are typically not statistically significant (e.g., Firestone et al, 2015;Jacquet & Stedman, 2013;Mulvaney et al, 2013b).…”
