Legislation would bar wind farms within six miles of another’s property

When it comes to building wind farms, how close is too close?

Six miles, according to proponents of legislation awaiting a House vote. It would bar any wind farm within that distance of anyone else’s property without that person’s consent.

And they would have to be at least 12 miles from any property zoned for residential development.

But that’s just part of what is in HB 2223.

It also would require county supervisors to first hold a public hearing and mandate that any approved development have sufficient financial bonds to assure that the any traces are cleaned up once the turbines are no longer functional.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
