View Shed for Wind Turbine Visibility

Wind Turbines produce a lot of Eco-friendly energy.  However, not all property owners want a turbine within view, and worry it will destroy property values.  Mount Saint Mary's Abbey in Franklin, MA has proposed an upgrade for their small 30 meter to a larger 120 meter/1800kW wind turbine.  A lot of energy can be harvested to power their facility and provide surplus energy to the area.  This project will analyze the view shed in the area and examine if the turbines will indeed have a significant impact on their views.  The citizens are in support of green energy options, and this study will help get the answers they need to support or oppose the proposal.
