Garrett Keizer's book The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want has a fairly extensive section on wind turbines, noise pollution and public health. I don't have a copy to hand but the book's bibliography might offer some further references that would be of use. It doesn't offer much in the way of alternatives to wind energy (and that's not the point of the book), but could provide some interesting context.

Good luck!

Subject: Love green energy - hate windfarms
I'm looking for articles on alternative forms of alternative energy that don't destroy the landscape.
I know some people think wind farms are beautiful, but I would like to be able to retain landscapes that aren't all dominated by man-made structures, even if - as I acknowledge - those landscapes are a product of generations of human interaction with nature.
In 20 years time will we look back at our industrialised landscapes and ask how could we have been so short sighted?
Is the emphasis on windfarms a product of short-term subsidies and landowners' self interest?
Please can someone point me in the direction of some serious but digestible research?
Sarah
