You tried living next to a wind turbine? I guess it beats living next to coal plant but both are pretty horrible. Go rent an Airbnb next to a windturbine for a week and see how your concerns are; we accidentally did this (they didn’t advertise this little tidbit) and it was absolutely amazing how much noise that thing made; it was over a kilometer away but up on a ridge and when the wind was in the direction of the bnb it was impossible to do much of anything. Probably some of it you will get used to, but should you have to? Your house dropped significantly in value in the best case and in the worst case you will have very little sleep and health issues from it.
The answer is; put these on platforms in the sea (see here the dutch projects [0]; countries like Portugal would seem perfect for this; biggest cities are on the sea, the country is thin and has sea the entire stretch and yet they throw this stuff next to nature parks in the mountains and Greece… these are islands we are talking about…) and put solar on desert/farmland. Or buy out people who live in the blast radius but I like the other options better.
