Panel limits wind power
Jul 16, 2009 (Raleigh NC) News & Observer

RALEIGH - State lawmakers on Tuesday overwhelmingly voted to ban commercial wind development on North Carolina's mountains.
The Senate Finance Committee agreed to limit wind power to allowing homeowners to install small turbines on towers no taller than 100 feet. The full Senate could take up the measure as early as this week. The House also will review the proposal.
Tuesday's vote is a setback for wind power advocates who dream of turning the state's mountain ranges into commercial wind farms, which link a fleet of turbines that can exceed 300 feet.
Banning commercial wind power development in the western part of the state would prevent harnessing energy capacity equivalent to a midsize nuclear power plant. Read more.....
Debate on Clean Energy Leads to Regional Divide
Jul 14, 2009 New York Times
By MATTHEW L. WALD
WASHINGTON — While most lawmakers accept that more renewable energy is needed on the nation’s grid, the debate over the giant climate-change and energy bill now before Congress is exposing a fundamental rift. For many players, the energy not only has to be clean and free of carbon-dioxide emissions, it also has to be generated nearby.
The division has set off a fight between Eastern and Midwestern politicians and grid officials over parts of the bill dealing with transmission lines and solar and wind energy. Many officials, including President Obama, say that the grid is antiquated and that thousands of miles of new power lines are needed to allow construction of wind farms and solar fields in the most promising spots. Many of the best wind sites are in the Midwest, far from the electric load in populous East Coast cities. Read more....
