Cleaner energy source for the environment. Cut back on the
usage of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gases. When
fully taxable the wind turbines can bring in millions of dollars.
Create many new jobs. Landowners with wind turbines can receive a
profit. BENEFITS OF WIND TURBINES
Slide 4
This money can help school buy new books, computers, and other
equipment. Hospitals can use this money to make new discoveries in
their more advanced research methods. BENEFITS OF THE TAX
COLLECTION
Slide 5
Iowa leads the nation in employment related to the wind energy
industry. More than 6,000 to 7,000 employed in Iowa. Jobs available
include: Manufacturing, construction, operation and maintenance.
JOB CREATION
Slide 6
Wind turbines produce very loud sounds and vibrations in the
ground. The vibrations can cause homes to be damaged such as having

weather has an affect on the level of noise produced. Both of these
can have a physiological impact on a person, causing nausea, rapid
heartbeat, and hearing lose. REASONS WHY PEOPLE DISLIKE THEM
Slide 7
These wind turbines can be built in less populated regions of
the country were people are not affected. They can be placed out on
the country side far away from communities and homes.
