Noun, R J

Identifying suitable sites for large wind machine clusters, or wind farms, requires more than finding a location with an adequate wind resource. Consideration must also be given to the question of how land-use policies and regulations will affect the siting of wind system installations. In particular, the issue of acquiring wind rights or guaranteed access to the wind resource for electric power generation, will be vital to the development of wind energy. Several methods are examined for acquiring and preserving access to the wind resource and for dealing with related land-use issues.
