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?

Exclude from wind power siting consideration: National Parks, Monuments,
and Wildlife Refuges; USFS Roadless..and even "citizens proposed wilderness"

Or

National Parks and Monuments

Units of the National Park system (including National Parks and National

Monuments) 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.
