Wind farm opponents speak again

Opponents of a proposed wind farm spanning from Florence to Aulne to north of Peabody once again showed up at county commission meeting to ask for a moratorium on wind farm development.
“What it comes down to, I think, is money,” said Hillsboro resident David Marsh. “If you have a moratorium, it will buy you time.”
He said other counties have extended the time allowed for protest of wind farm zoning decisions. Peabody farmer Randy Eintzen said, “What we need is time to try to get through those issues, to figure out how we’re going to get through this.” Eintzen, who last week told commissioners that landowners have become hostile toward each other, predicted lawsuits will be filed from different angles if a conditional use permit is granted for National Renewable Solutions Expedition Wind Farm.
