Response to Industrial Wind Action Group Critiques

On November 20, 2009, the Industrial Wind Action Group (IWAG) posted an editorial that, in part, lists a number of concerns about Berkeley Lab’s efforts to investigate the presence of residential property value impacts associated with U.S. wind power facilities. 1 That editorial follows from more-extensive review comments provided on September 11, 2009 by the Industrial Wind Action Group. 2 The more extensive comments were provided during the external review of the draft Berkeley Lab report, and were one of roughly 20 sets of external review comments received by stakeholders and experts at that time. All of these comments were considered during revisions to the draft report, culminating in the final analysis and report issued on December 2, 2009.
