Judge voids township ordinances
The quotes from Bob Boettger are amazingly insensitive to his neighbors that are trying to protect our health and homes.
Kevon Martis commented online:
This alleged wind energy project has no application in for an interconnection agreement in MISO. Neither do they have a power purchase agreement with any utility or municipality. Both major utilities have adequate wind projects in the pipeline to meet he 10% rps. Further, Michigan's requirement for instate generation of renewable energy was pronounced unconstitutional this summer in federal appeals court. This wind project will never be cost competitive with wind from IA or MN. It is not in the ratepayer's interests to have this project go forward. I doubt it ever will. And I believe the townships will prevail upon appeal. Sadly, receiving justice often requires moving to a venue out of reach of the good old boy network.
Please support your township boards during the appeal process.
