Wind energy will undoubtedly be a part of America’s future, and
this Article examines a set of federal guidelines for siting wind farms.
The Wind Turbine Guidelines Advisory Committee Guidelines
(WTGAC Guidelines) use an iterative decision-making process to
help site wind farms while minimizing the negative impacts to avian and chiropteran species. In particular, the Guidelines provide a head
start on the data collection necessary for compliance with the
Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. |
