The Consumerist posts:

Think fast: if a utility offered you $5,000 not to complain about the noise from their wind turbines, would you accept? What if the noise was so loud that it caused headaches and nausea? It's a choice Caithness Energy is asking some Oregon residents to make as the utility tries to build one of the largest wind farms in the country.



What do you think?

In a sense they are admitting liability to something? how did they sell this project before they built it?

Sounds like to me its a waiver once you sign on the dotted line, you will have no more complaint, well legally anyhow.

It doesn't completely cover the company. There are common law issues of good faith and understood risk.

I don't think they should take the money. I think they should all band together and do something about the noise, if possible.
