My small British village has a wind farm right on its doorstep. When it was built the utility company had to set up a grant worth millions to fund local projects which immediately benefitted the local area, and I believe we get an ongoing subsidy from it until a predetermined date. Is this not the case where you're from? Incidentally, I've walked through it many times and never heard a "thrum". I've never heard them from my house at all and they're less than half a mile away.
