The saddest part of this legislation is that it has turned into a jobs/economic issue, and not about local subdivisions proving they can competantly create a legal, science and fact based ordinance. It truly is depressing to see an issue about siting these machines too close to homes turn into an economic issue. You cannot safely site that many large turbines in WI, that is a fact. The state is in the process of a power grab, and rural WI will once again be the loser. I sat and watched Wisconsin residents plead with tears of anger and frustration for over 8 hours at a public hearing at the capitol. They came on their own time, hoping to see a democracy work for them. I think tomorrow you will see what democracy has become. I think their testimony will be overshadowed by the construction unions complaining about how many jobs they could have if we throw away all of the well researched local ordinances.
My thoughts are viewed as anti-wind. I like to look at it like I am pro safe siting.
