Why stop with windmills? Let’s tell farmers when they can or can’t sell their land to a residential or commercial property developer. Or how about for industrial development like a power plant or large animal feedlot? Good luck with that.
Most states and many local governments have established setback requirements and/or siting authorities for wind turbines. You can argue whether the requirements are adequate or reasonable, but they are pretty common across the country.
