Dislikes
NO!!! Puts children at risk by allowing removal of safe setbacks to schools! Wind energy claims to profit schools financially, giving the school board financial incentives to remove safe setbacks. HORRIBLE BILL. "B. The setback distances prescribed in paragraphs 2 and 3 of subsection A of this section may be waived by a majority vote of the applicable school board or by a hospital board of directors or other governing body. Any approved waiver shall be submitted in writing, signed by all parties, by the wind energy facility operator to the Corporation Commission.
