Chattanooga, Tenn. – Iberdrola Renewables may be rethinking its proposal to farm wind along the crest of Lookout Mountain.
“We are constantly evaluating every project we do work on, at every stage of the process, and we are discussing whether it makes sense to pursue this project at this time,” said company spokesman Paul Copleman, citing citizen “misconceptions.”
Jason Winters, Chattooga County commissioner, who with Walker County Commissioner Bebe Heiskell had a first telephone conversation with Iberdrola officials Friday, said he thinks the Spanish company is re-evaluating its plan and never understood the demographics of the mountain brow.
