There is growing resistence to industrial wind energy in this country annd abroad. Large industrial wind turbines inflict damage to wildlife and negatively affect humans living in proximity to industrial wind projects. These effects do not respect jurisdictional lines. If these effects, cross the jurisdictional lines of the intenty providing the certification, then the PBR should not apply. Effects are noise, viewshed, shadow flicker, or infra-sound (typically travels 4 times audable sound).

The purpose of this requirement is to give those affected by a wind project a voice.
