The impact of sound ordinances on the land-based wind technical potential of the United States
Nature Energy, Published online: 08 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41560-025-01739-3This work quantifies the impact of sound ordinances on the wind energy capacity in the United States. It finds existing sound ordinances reduce the capacity by 8% over standard setbacks and explores impacts of other hypothetical ordinance scenarios.
