Another wind farm fight is brewing and it’s not in Oklahoma, but in neighboring Arkansas and right across the state line in Washington County.
According to KFSM TV news , some residents want a pause in the proposed project and that they are not calling for a total ban of the wind farm.
RES Group has proposed the wind farm and hopes to have construction begin in 2029. But before anything happens, some residents of the county, which includes the city of Fayetteville, want a temporary moratorium to allow time for public educatioin and environmental review.
While the group contends it is not opposed to the wind farm, some residents have already raised the matter of private property rights. Five other countries in the region, Newton, Boone, Carroll, Madison and Crittenden passed moratoriums on wind farms and solar farms.
