Meeting July 8 about Taos wind farm
We would like to inform you that there are two proposed wind farms trying to go in here in Tres Piedras, one at the Wind Mtn. area and the other nearby the Celito Lindo subdivision 7 miles east of Tres Piedras.

Few laws currently govern regulation of wind farms. That is slowly changing and wind developers are in a big rush to build facilities before new laws are enacted.
Developers claim this is a “community based” project. That might sound good at first but just . . .
