Recently, eight large wind turbines, the blade lengths of which are 42 metres in length, have been constructed on land to the north of the settlement, causing much protest within the local community.^{[citation needed]} Proponents of the turbines, however, highlight the environmentally friendly nature of the energy that is generated by the turbines, citing strong winds and relatively small local populations as a reason for their construction.
