The Transportation Department in July recommended a minimum set-back requirement for wind turbines that would require them to be, at a minimum, 1.2 miles (1.93 km) away from highways and railroads. The agency also said the Federal Aviation Administration would "thoroughly evaluate" proposed turbines to ensure they do not pose a danger to aviation. -Bloomberg

But urban gas wells:

How far must a well be from my property or public structures/areas? The distance requirement is regulated by the city’s gas ordinance. No well maybe drilled closer than 600 feet from any protected use such as a residence, religious institution, public building, hospital, school or public park without a waiver from the protected use owners or City Council approval.

And waivers are common.

Not to mention cell phone towers and broadcast antennae.
