Wise WordsWinning The Fight For Truth with Big Wind
CASE SETTLED SILENCING VOTERS ON ZONING APPEAL
The top half of the diagram above shows setbacks of 3 times turbine height. This represents a reasonable setback from homes according to GE Wind Energy, The American Wind Energy Association (2008 Siting Handbook) and other credible sources. Yet the number of potential turbines (and correspeonding revenue) on this isolated plat has been cut by almost 2/3.
Tthe American Wind Energy Association is apparently separating themselves from the hype and settling into their appropriate role. As an industry trade organization, they bear a responsibility to promote their industry's growth and integrity, as growth without integrity wil be short-lived. Their 2008 Siting Handbook, available for download at www.awea.org is a step in the right direction.
