WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WRN) — Two state lawmakers want to give local governments more say over wind turbine projects.
Citing public health concerns, Senator Andre Jacque and Representative Ty Boden seek co-sponsors on a bill to restore the ability of towns and counties to impose restrictions on new turbine projects, that are more restrictive than Public Service Commission rules.
A sponsorship memo cites the January collapse of a wind turbine in Dodge County, and notes turbine projects may potentially not be a good fit in some areas given the density of rural homes.
