Show Notes
Dawson County, Montana, residents will vote in June on a proposal to cap new structures at 250 feet, primarily due to opposition to wind turbines. Local farmer and former senator Rick Holden leads the charge against industrial-scale wind projects, citing concerns about noise, shadow flicker, and increased electricity costs. While nearby counties have already implemented similar height limits, wind developer NextEra Energy still aims to build in Glendive. The ballot measure represents a victory for opponents, temporarily halting projects and encouraging other communities to act on zoning.
