BROWN COUNTY-wind farm development in Wisconsin could face major roadblock if gov.Jo: Scott Walker has his way.
Walker wants to switch, if wind turbines built away from homes, i.e., the farther away.
The project resulted in a lot of controversy, but the eight-turbine wind farm has been up-and-running the of Town Glenmore last fall.
And plans are another wind project, the southern Brown County joins the 100 turbines Works.
However, the Governor proposed a new rule in the Scott Walker would throw wrench wind farm development throughout the territory of the State.
Currently, the turbines have been built at least 1,250 meters from the nearby homes. Walker's plan, they must build at least 1,800 feet away.
Dean Baumgardner wind Capital Group "in the current standards are more restrictive than the majority of Member States, of the 1250 feet is more than sufficient to protect the owners of the neighboring buildings," said.
The group is currently the wind farm project planned Grant County.
Governor Walker this week, the wind capital group with other companies dealing in said letter sent to the wind, you can change the rule setback represents the death sentence, many wind projects in Wisconsin.
"Governor Walker ran around creating jobs and reducing government regulation, and I was surprised to see this provision in the context of the regulatory reform bill, in that it is intended to reduce jobs and new investment in the surrounding States instead of Wisconsin," said Baumgardner.
Governor Walker did not return calls for comment on the story of the FOX 11.
Walker's spokesman said that the proposal is in line with the Cullen Werwie aimed at addressing the concerns of wind energy, which affect individuals e-mailed statement. He added that the proposed legislation, if provided, the current owners of the rights to a minimum.
The group "Brown County citizens for responsible wind energy," said, it has encouraged the BOM. The Organization of its activities-the idea is to prevent irresponsible commercial community projects and the development of the wind.
On Wednesday, the group said in a statement, "this is the sound of the first to protect the health and safety, and forced to live in the immediate vicinity of the tuulivoimaloissa and the World Health Organization recommendations for safe noise levels more closely Align."
Walker's proposal is not formally introduced yet, so no hearings scheduled.
When the Governor Office brought the Bill to the world, it moves to the Senate Committee on economic development, and veterans and military affairs.
