State Supreme Court justices this morning will hear arguments over a proposal to build 124 giant wind-power turbines along 23 miles of Greenbrier County ridges.
Local opponents of the Beech Ridge Energy LLC project are appealing the state Public Service Commission’s decision to approve the $300 million development.
Mountain Communities for Responsible Energy argues that the PSC ignored its own permit regulations and did not obtain adequate information about the wind project’s potential impacts before approving it.
