A Responsible Wind Siting Policy
Please read the State of Wyoming Wind Turbine Guidelines. A beautiful
example of owning up to responsibilities of conservation! What exactly would
the town of Wellfleet, CCNS and state protect?http://www.voiceforthewild.org/WindPowerReport.pdf
Exclude from wind power siting consideration: National Parks, Monuments,
and Wildlife Refuges; USFS Roadless..and even "citizens proposed wilderness"
OrNational Parks and Monuments
Units of the National Park system (including National Parks and NationalMonuments) are managed under a strong legal mandate which
directs the federal government to "protect and preserve" these
lands and their natural resources "for the use and enjoyment of
the public." National Park units are precluded from industrial
development (although commercial development for tourism is
permitted. Wind energy development would not be allowed by
law in these units regardless of their wind energy potential, and
key viewsheds visible from park overlooks should be protected
from visible wind energy development as well.
