    Updated: 2012-06-30 19:21:17
    Jun 26 2012 Court approves smaller Goodhue wind setbacks hurdles remain Human impacts News Wind turbines Add comments The Minnesota Court of Appeals has issued an expedited ruling that affirms a 2011 Minnesota PUC decision to issue a permit for the Goodhue wind farm using smaller setbacks than the county requires . While the county requires a 10-rotor diameter setback from non-participating neighbors about 2700 feet , or just over a half mile the PUC let the project move ahead with setbacks of about 1600 feet . The Court ruled that the PUC can supersede county rules when it has good cause . 8221 The court documents say the 10-RD setback would essentially prevent all wind energy projects in Goodhue County , 8221 which was apparently the core good cause for overruling the county ordinance .
