This from a friend on the coast of Maine:
Rockport and Hope, Maine voters approve wind amendments.
At the polls on June 14, Rockport voted 396-94 to support an amendment to the Land Use Ordinance as it pertains to wind development. This Ordinance will now include a 100’ turbine height limit, allow only one turbine per parcel of land and the electricity produced is to be used at that parcel.
Hope voters approved a 180-Day Wind Power Moratorium, 191-131, to allow the town the time needed to draft a specific Wind Ordinance. After six months, voters will have the opportunity to vote for or against that Ordinance. Ordinances are important to protect the health, safety and welfare of a town’s citizens.
