For example, nuisance claims have arisen related to odors from a neighboring feedlot and noise from a propane cannon shot off in a grain field to deter feral hogs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Rankin v. FPL Energy,<\/em> LLC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The leading case on this issue occurred here in Texas, decided by the Eastland Court of Appeals in 2009.\u00a0 [Read full opinion <a href=\"https:\/\/caselaw.findlaw.com\/tx-court-of-appeals\/1281093.html\">here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Rankin v. FPL Energy, LLC<\/em>, neighbors of the Horse Hollow Wind Farm in Taylor County, filed a lawsuit against the farm claiming it constituted a nuisance.\u00a0 One of the the plaintiffs&#8217; key claims was that the &#8220;wind farm&#8217;s aesthetic impact&#8221; and the emotional impact of the loss of the unimpeded view of neighboring landowners\u00a0 was a condition that could be considered by a jury in determining whether a nuisance existed.\u00a0 The plaintiffs claimed that the 400-foot-tall turbines significantly diminished the area&#8217;s scenic beauty and, therefore, the enjoyment of their property.\u00a0 One plaintiff claimed that because of the wind farm, they abandoned their plan of opening a bed and breakfast due to the view of the wind farm.<\/p>\n<p>The court rejected the plaintiffs&#8217; argument that the aesthetic impact created a nuisance.\u00a0 Although the court recognized the wind farm&#8217;s impact on the view and the emotional reaction this could cause, it simply did not constitute a nuisance.\u00a0 Texas case law limits a nuisance action\u00a0 &#8220;when the challenged activity is lawful to instances in which the activity results in some invasion of the plaintiff&#8217;s property and by not allowing recovery for emotional reaction alone.&#8221;\u00a0 Thus, Texas courts do not provide a nuisance action for damage to aesthetic impact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Take Aways<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, this case is a good reminder that the nuisance doctrine exists and is something that all landowners should be aware of.\u00a0 Generally, a person has the right to do what he or she wants on his or her own property, but that right could be limited in the event that it impacts another&#8217;s use and enjoyment of his or her property.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the fact that a neighboring landowner cannot make a nuisance claim against a wind company related to aesthetic impact does not prohibit all nuisance claims.\u00a0 For example, claims related to noise or light could still potentially be available to a landowner neighboring a wind farm.\u00a0 Indeed, in\u00a0<em>Rankin<\/em> and in subsequent cases, nuisance claims have been filed against wind farms for the noise caused by the turbines when the wind is blowing, the blinking red lights emanating from the turbines, and the shadow flicker effect of the turning blades.\u00a0 These claims were not dismissed by the court in the\u00a0<em>Rankin<\/em> case along with the aesthetic claims, but were allowed to proceed to trial.\u00a0 Courts in West Virginia and New Jersey have allowed nuisance claims related to noise from neighboring wind turbines.\u00a0\u00a0<em>See\u00a0 Burch v. Nedpower Mount Storm, LLC,\u00a0647 S.E.2d 879 (W. Va. 2007); Rose v. Chaikin<\/em>, 453 A.2d 1378 (N.J. Super. Ct. 1982).<\/p>\n<p>Third, when negotiating a wind lease (or a solar lease), a landowner may want to seek indemnity from the company in the event this type of lawsuit is filed and the landowner is named as a defendant as well.\u00a0 As we see additional wind farms being built, particularly near more urban areas, the chances of a nuisance lawsuit being filed likely increase and a landowner could potentially be named as a defendant in this type of case.\u00a0 [For more resources related to wind energy leases, <a href=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/2016\/10\/19\/wind-leasing-resources\/\">click here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wind turbines are a common sight across Texas.\u00a0 In fact, Texas is the largest wind producing state in America.\u00a0 In 2017, the number of megawatts produced by Texas wind farms surpassed the number of megawatts of energy produced by Texas coal plants.\u00a0 However, not everyone is a fan of wind farms or the look of the wind turbines dotting the skyline across the Lone Star State.\u00a0 This has led to an interesting question:\u00a0 Can claimed negative aesthetic impact of a wind project by a neighboring landowner constitute a&#8230; <span class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/2019\/03\/11\/do-wind-turbines-constitute-a-nuisance-by-aesthetic-damage\/\">Read More &rarr;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2444,"featured_media":6191,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wind-energy-leasing"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Does the Aesthetic Impact of Wind Turbines Constitute a Nuisance? - Texas Agriculture Law<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasaglaw\/2019\/03\/11\/do-wind-turbines-constitute-a-nuisance-by-aesthetic-damage\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Does the Aesthetic Impact of Wind Turbines Constitute a Nuisance? - Texas Agriculture Law\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Wind turbines are a common sight across Texas.\u00a0 In fact, Texas is the largest wind producing state in America.\u00a0 In 2017, the number of megawatts produced by Texas wind farms surpassed the number of megawatts of energy produced by Texas coal plants.\u00a0 However, not everyone is a fan of wind farms or the look of the wind turbines dotting the skyline across the Lone Star State.\u00a0 This has led to an interesting question:\u00a0 Can claimed negative aesthetic impact of a wind project by a neighboring landowner constitute a...
