Time for turbine talks too short, residents say

With yet another state meeting to be held in Garrett County concerning wind power projects, local citizens voiced their concerns not only about the turbines but the comment period for the Public Service Commission. "The application online (for the Clipper Windpower project) is unusable," Barbara Boone said. "Many people will not know (about the project) until the PSC meeting. Send a letter to the PSC to keep the comment period open for 30 days after the meeting."
In a recent letter to the editor, local U.S. Wind Force attorney Jamie Walsh insisted that proposed amendments to the Allegany County zoning code would restrict industrial wind energy facilities too much.
"The ordinance would prevent any wind projects in Allegany County," Walsh wrote.

Allegany County staff on Tuesday rejected a half dozen suggestions and critiques by US WindForce regarding proposed amendments to the county zoning code.
US WindForce President Tom Matthews has said the loss of any more turbines to the planned Dan's Mountain project would eliminate the project from being a viable one. The county, however, has consistently presented a goal of balancing those business needs with adequate safeguards for its residents.

Two planning issues are going to wait for a decision in Mineral County as the county commissioners ask the planning commissioners to review potential wind turbine regulations and prepare to look over a draft of the exotic entertainment ordinance.
"We're asking (the planning commission) to look at the public good," Commission President Wayne Spiggle said. "We're trying to figure out what we're going to look at in 10 years."
