A federal lawsuit has been filed by a Nebraska wind farm operator over changes a county made in its required setback rules.
The suit was filed against Knox County administrators and its board of supervisors by North Fork Wind LLC and some landowners in the northern Nebraska county. The wind farm lawsuit suggests that the county bowed to the influence of a group called “Wind Watchers” who wanted setbacks extended from 2,000 to 6,600 feet, something the county Board of Supervisors approved on a 5-1 vote.
