Would you put a 350-foot wind turbine on your land?
That’s the question my dad was asked by a representative of NextEra Energy Resources not long after the company expressed interest in leasing a small corner of land in an area owned by our family about 2½ miles west of our farm.
The turbine would be part of the Brady Wind Energy Center II project NextEra plans to stretch across northern Hettinger County as a complementary project to the larger Brady Wind Energy Center I proposed for southern Stark County.
My dad promptly asked me the same question and others. “What do you know about the company?” And, “What do you think we should do?”
