The North Central Region Water Network has a recording of a recent webinar on wind energy and its impact on rural communities available on YouTube. While this webinar is focused on Michigan, it has good lessons for rural communities in other parts of the country as well. The Southeast is not a big producer of wind energy because there are not a lot of good sites available, but there are some locations which could be affected by this in the future. You can view the 1-hour video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6AjtdAZN2Y&list=PLVTmFFu20my0vhWUMMjRmEV1CqL9rqEPG&index=4.
