    Interesting. In my country nobody wants to live next to windmills (I’m from the Netherlands). The sound and even the constant shadows falling over your house is said to be causing mental health issues.

    Mind you, The Netherlands is a very densly populated country.

    I’d say about 30% has solar on their roof though.

    E: here’s a research that had been done by our government: It seems mostly in English, for those that want to read it.

    Conclusion seems to be that it cannot be said for certain that the sound of windmills are the sole reason for sleeplessness and mental health problems.
