Public officials are fond of pointing out that all of Kansas City International Airport’s electricity is now generated from wind — namely the Cimarron Bend wind farm in Clark County, in far western Kansas. But as wind power development grows across Kansas and Missouri, not everyone is happy. About an hour’s drive north of Kansas City, the Osborn Wind Project has divided neighbors since its 2017 opening. Here, one hears the familiar arguments about wind towers: Some call them eyesores, and some detest the constant noise and flickering red lights at night. Among the strongest opponents has been the nearby Shatto Milk Company, a local favorite known for its reusable glass jugs. The owners were concerned that the turbines could affect the health of their animals.
