Voters in Lincoln County this week supported zoning rules that put a half mile between any home and a wind power tower. That may slow, or kill a large wind farm project that had been proposed for the county.
Lucas Nelsen is a policy program associate with the Center for Rural Affairs in Lyons Nebraska. He says there are more projects being proposed across the region…..

Nelsen says people have to be careful that they don’t choke off all development…..
