I dont want to see these with my great sunrise and sunset. Please do not put these in shelby county. We have eagles that nest around here and I would hate to see them get killed by these things spinning 250MPH. Everything is so beautiful out here and this would ruin everything we have.

Our land we’ve been paying for all our lives, our animals and the noise it creates will harm them mentally, OUR LAND OUR SAY. NO MORE GOVERNMENT TAKEOVERS.

For many reasons but conservation being top of mind

We don’t need the noise, it will kill birds, it will ruin our views, certainly will not make any difference to electric bills.

Green energy is a scam.

We have a beautiful piece of property and these wind turbines are not what my family wants to see when we walk outside!

Those things will ruin the area and won’t lower your power bill a dime. Windmills are a green energy scam built on subsidies and will never create a net zero carbon footprint. Useless junk.

My home. No thanks. Tack on that those things will literally never return on their investment. They break down constantly. They make 0 sense. Find something else.

Im a from a farming family and all it is doing is taking more farm land that Illinois can not afford to lose. Half of the other wind farms don’t get used anyhow

I see enough of these turbines throughout the Midwest in my travels. Just north of Shelby county, in the dark, all you see is a sea of flashing red lights. Let’s not not ruin the skyline in the Shelby county area.

We live in the country for the view, quiet and spacious home plots. Not to be cluttered by wind mills with their flashing red lights at night glowing threw your windows. Killing birds including our growing population of Eagles. These windmills energy mostly does not benefit our area far as electricity or savings to local electric customers.

Preserving farm ground, protecting our resources, water etc., interference with radars, they are a scam and once here there's no going back!

People who are signing are looking at nothing but dollar signs! They are promising you big bucks for having a turbine in your backyard but when we were presented with a contact, back on the next to last page, a small paragraph stating that contract & payments of such can be cancelled at anytime company chooses so to do. When the money is gone, you're stuck with that big ugly eyesore in your yard! DON'T SIGN. Save our farmground for food for the world and save our beautiful skyline.

I as a former crop adjuster and still land owner have seen the sad destruction to our earth. I would fight for farmers that have livestock and had people fighting against their lively hood. This will destroy the ground fore ever.

God is not making any more land. As farmers, we are required to protect His land. Wind farm turbines, solar panels, and data centers will destroy this land. The wind farms are a blight on the landscape; the noise causes mental illness—possibly physical illness; the land values drop significantly; no one wants to buy near a wind farm; they destroy the fertile soil; and the farmer is left with a huge mess when the wind farms company pulls out. No one should want these on their land!!!!
