Somerset and Yates are in a position to seriously challenge the basic premise of the ART.X process. If the opposition to industrial wind is truly as substantial as this article suggests, Mr. Simon should encourage his town to prohibit turbines. Why mess around arguing about setbacks and noise levels, when the State clearly has the cards stacked in their favor with the authority to pre-empt any regulations established by the town. An outright ban gives the State no room to bargain. It's time somebody has the gumption to say no to the State, and demand true home rule when it comes to land use.
