The sWINDle campaign has billboards set up from Twin Falls to American Falls, and Jerome to Rexburg with the slogan "not cheap not clean not for Idaho" and their very own website which tells of the evils of wind power and why Idaho should stay wind farm free. Besides the Energy Integrity Project and the sWINDle campaign, the opposition lies within the individual communities of southern Idaho that don't want to have 300-foot-tall wind turbines looking back at them from out their window.
Some Idahoans are fighting hard in order to keep wind turbines out of Idaho. One group of these people live up on the hill in Idaho Falls. They have formed a "grassroot" organization called Idahoans for Responsible Wind Energy or IRWE for short. They are saying, "Having dozens of nearly 500-foot-tall wind turbines within plain view of your home could significantly reduce your property value or even make it virtually impossible to sell" (qtd in Worly). Being conscientious about one's property value in the future is a real and important thing to do, especially when they paid top dollar for their houses themselves. Although it may seem like having those monstrous wind turbines would definitely reduce their property values, they shouldn't worry about it.
The reason as to why they shouldn't worry at all is because there has been an extensive study done about it and it found that there was no measurable difference between the property values of homes that were nowhere near a wind farm and those homes that are close to a wind farm. Worly states in his article A Case for a Wind Farm in Idaho Falls, "the claim made by the IRWE asserting wind farms will affect their property values is a complete falsehood". When Worly says this, he completely ruins a quarter of the IRWE's list of why wind shouldn't come to this lovely state. Then if proving a fourth of their argument wrong, wind developers are taking the complaints about wind farms and are trying to compromise, if not fix, the problem.
