Town Council Scraps Windfarm Project After Turbine Collapse
We told you recently about a wind turbine collapse in northern New York that has officials looking for a cause. Now comes word that a nearby town is scraping plans for a windfarm, in part because of concerns over that collapse.
The Plattsburgh Press-Republican reports that the Beekmantown Town Council killed a proposed farm with 13 turbines last week after a contentious meeting. Vermont-based Windhorse Power LLC had proposed the facility three years ago but the project had become tied up in lawsuits by residents. Council members voted 3-2 to to kill the project.
