The Christian County Zoning Board of Appeals met Wednesday evening to continue the hearings on wind farms and the push for a moratorium on the subject. The board spent the first 90 minutes listening to interested parties speak on wind turbines either for or against the subject.  Among the speakers was Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry who spoke about uncertainity, saying that the wind energy would provide Christian County a chance to combat that uncertainty.

Gwen Podeschi spoke as well on Wednesday and asked why people who are so concerned about adverse effects from wind farms didn’t care about a coal mine that was proposed.

Jeanie Jones also spoke on wind turbines asking for more time.

The second half of the meeting was a question-answer session from board members to Rose City Wind Energy. Michelle Pavan with Rose City was asked by Mark Dozier of the ZBA where electricity was going to and who was buying it. Pavan said that they haven’t reached that point in the process yet.

The next ZBA meeting is set for Thursday evening at 6:00 PM.
