Voters in Lincoln County last month voted to support larger setbacks for wind towers, which may have killed a major power project planned for the county.

That may not stop wind power expansion in the state.

Fiegen says the legislature has given counties more authority over siting wind projects….

Fiegen says wind power companies are adjusting to those law changes…..

Large wind power projects are underway in eastern and northern parts of the state.
