There are some sensible regulations wrt placing wind turbines. For example you don't want the blades' shade to hit homes for more than a couple of minutes and you want sufficient distance to buildings so that the blades can fall off without hitting any. These regulations however are not strong enough for NIMBYs who don't want to even see any turbines.
