Carroll County bans new commercial wind and solar energy projects

Carroll County bans new commercial wind and solar energy projects

Translate:  FROM English | TO English

With a unanimous vote Tuesday night, Carroll County put a moratorium on the construction of new commercial wind and solar energy projects.

The vote follows an unsuccessful attempt last year by the Carroll County Quorum Court to ban such projects. (Quorum courts are the elected governing bodies for Arkansas counties.)

Carroll County’s moratorium comes just a few months after nearby Madison County put a similar hold on renewable energy projects into effect.

Much of the opposition came from concerns that wind turbines could break down and damage surrounding property, and that construction will require some deforestation and could contaminate or otherwise disrupt water sources. Many were also concerned about potential impacts to wildlife, including protected species like the bald eagle. And like Usrey, many people were concerned about the changing landscape in their small county.

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

When all these nation wide Turbines become worthless rust buckets the next 20-30 years, we need to round up and  collect all the environmental activist, and make them dismantle these while in  a chain gang.  During breaks, they have to cite every bird specie that these turbines have killed.  I figure in about 10 years we can return our beautiful scenery and vistas back to their pristine beauty.

Now that's MAGA.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

They are already burying them  in Wyoming--and have been for years, now.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
