Supes Ban Wind Turbines in Unincorporated County
| Wednesday, Jul 22, 2015

windturbineThe Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a motion by Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich banning utility-scale wind turbines in the unincorporated parts of Los Angeles County.

County supervisors approved the motion July 14 after more than 50 speakers addressed the matter, with many in support of the ban.

“Wind turbines create visual blight, contradict the county’s rural dark skies ordinance which aims to protect dark skies in areas like Antelope Valley and the Santa Monica Mountains,” Antonovich said.

Edwards Air Force Base and defense contractors also met with Antonovich to discuss what kind of effects wind turbines could cause.

“Both said that wind turbines disrupt flight and weapon test ranges and will negatively affect the research operations,” Antonovich said.

    Of course they did, renewable energy means cheaper costs for consumers, and that’s the last thing energy companies want.

    Don’t be ignorant Larry, this isn’t a “party” issue. Big oil/power companies stopping clean energy under the guise of “urban blight” is what it is. And screw your “research operations” Edwards.

    And the price of rent and food will be raised accordingly! Along with utilities.

    Government needs to get the heck out of the way and let free market run its course. That includes min wage and energy production.

    Visual blight is the lousy roads, not renewable energy. A prime example of corporate needs ahead of the constituents one again.
