Lawsuit against wind farm in Botetourt County allowed to move forward

FINCASTLE – A lawsuit that seeks to undo a state environmental permit granted to a proposed wind farm in Botetourt County survived its first legal challenge Friday. Attorneys for the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and Apex Clean Energy asked a judge to dismiss the case, in part because opponents of the wind turbines live too far away to have legal standing to bring the case. Although Botetourt County Circuit Judge Joel Branscom said he had “serious concerns” about standing, he . . . Complete story »

The former Pine Township supervisor signed a waiver more than a year ago with the same law firm that’s now representing a wind energy developer looking to construct industrial turbines in the township.

Adams Township passes wind farm moratorium

The Adams Township Board joined Stanton Township in passing a moratorium on all commercial renewable energy projects. The measure will make it impossible to get the ok for the proposed Scotia Wind Farm for at least six months. Several government agencies have already weighed in on the project, denying approval. That decision is being appealed by Circle Power. Stanton Township’s moratorium is nine months in length, compared to six, which may push any construction into 2023, assuming Circle Power can . . .

Hitting pause: Adams Township adopts six-month wind, solar moratorium

ADAMS TOWNSHIP – The Adams Township Board voted unanimously to impose a six-month moratorium on approving applications for commercial wind and solar projects Wednesday. Supervisor Gerald Heikkinen said the board would take the time to find more information about renewable power. “I know everybody in this room is probably against it, but there are still people that are for it, so we have to take the middle of the road,” he said. ” The township is one of the proposed locations . . .

Town recognized its mistake, now it’s up to the state

I was a member of Town Meeting when we voted to put a wind turbine at our municipal sewage treatment plant to generate electricity. Experts told us it was cost efficient to locate an electric power source next to the biggest user of municipal electricity. Other experts told Town Meeting that the proposed turbine would generate noise comparable to a running brook at the bottom of a meadow. Proponents of the turbine organized an off-Cape field trip for us to . . . Complete story »

Feds see turbines as a mixed bag

The construction and operation of the South Fork Wind farm is likely to have negligible to moderately adverse impacts on marine life and habitat, with some moderately beneficial impacts also likely. For commercial fisheries, however, moderate to major adverse effects, either temporarily or long term, are predicted, with minor to moderate disruptions on for-hire recreational fishing. But climate change, other offshore development and vessel activity, and fishing itself will have “continuing temporary to long-term impacts” on commercial and recreational fishing. . . .
