The company planning a wind farm east of Dickinson has withdrawn their sitting application from the Public Service Commission.
Dickinson Wind, LLC, had applied for a permit for a transmission line and a 87-turbine wind farm located in the area of Gladstone, Taylor and Richardton. The Stark County Commission rejected a conditional use permit in May.
If the company chooses to try and build a wind farm in that area, they will need to start over in the application process.They did the right thing. The last thing tourists want to see on their way to the Teddy Roosevelt parks is the rough-and-ready state going green. What an eyesore. I love solar and wind -- just not in my backyard.
Forbes: why the left needs AGW. The five-step cycle involved in slaying ever-smaller fire-breathing dragons:
- first stage: small group becomes promoting an alarming discovery, another dragon
- second stage: the dopamine stage; euphoric enthusiasm by activists
- third stage: the "hinge" stage; folks discover it's very, very difficult to slay the dragon (that probably doesn't exist in the first place); that's where AGW has been since Kyoto, and even the Canadians have dropped out
- fourth stage: a gradual decline in the intensity of public interest; occurring now; US consumers will be in full fourth stage when President Obama leaves office
- fifth stage: prolonged limbo .. until replaced by the sighting of a new dragon
