In Atlantic City, Wind Turbines are a Tourist Draw July 6, 2011

Despite the overheated claims of Windbaggers that wind farms are an unwanted eyesore, actual research continues to show that wind turbines have no impact on property values.

Recent news from Atlantic City indicates that wind turbines there have become a tourist attraction.

Philly dot com reports:

ATLANTIC CITY – The 32-story turbines of the Jersey-Atlantic Wind Farm have so dramatically changed Atlantic City’s skyline – perhaps more than any casino could – that tourists haven’t stopped asking questions about them since they went up five years ago along a back-bay salt marsh.

Some casino hotel guests are so fascinated that they ask for rooms with a view of the five delicate fans, resort operators say.
