No Wind Turbines in My Back Yard, NJ Town Says.By Andrea Alexander, Bergen County Record, September 5, 2008. "WAYNE residents won't be seeing wind turbines going up close to their homes under new zoning rules. The Township Council unanimously adopted the measure after a heated debate Wednesday night: Are turbines unsightly intruders with potentially damaging health effects? Or should they be accepted as just part of the skyline of an energy-independent future? 'When you look out your back door, you don't want to look at a nuclear power plant, you don't want to look at a wind turbine,' Mayor Christopher Vergano said today. 'We are protecting the values of residential properties by keeping them [at] a certain setback.'"
