There goes Walker, creating more jobs!
:sarcasm:

http://host.madison.com/ct/news/opinion/column/article_8f7ea0bc-1fed-11e0-8efd-001cc4c03286.html

A special session bill recently proposed by Gov. Scott Walker includes many provisions that could hurt Wisconsin's economy and environment, but one of the most perplexing proposals in this package is a new regulation that would effectively ban wind energy projects in Wisconsin.

The regulatory reform bill proposed by Walker would close Wisconsin's doors to clean, renewable wind power and cost our state thousands of jobs. Our state legislators elected on the promise of real job creation and economic recovery — should reject Walker's bill.

The bill would create regulations that effectively prohibit wind energy developers from constructing a wind turbine within 1,800 feet of the nearest property line. If approved, this law would make siting a wind farm so difficult that no wind developer would even bother trying — especially when Illinois and Iowa are waiting with open arms, having no setback provision at all.

The bill would immediately jeopardize 11 proposed wind projects that are set to create hundreds of jobs and undoubtedly many others in the planning stages.
