In 2019, I was recording the public comments at the Isabella County, Michigan Planning Commission meeting, held to consider permitting a large wind farm in the area. I was lucky enough to capture the simple, but heartfelt and obviously pained words of a local farmer, John Fabian, who explained the very personal experience that made him want to support the project, and host a turbine. It brought the house down. The project was approved, and is now in successful service, producing clean electricity at about 4 cents/Kwh.
