Wind farm

As the Rail Tie Wind Project continues through the approval process, groups work to oppose the development.

The wind farm south of Rawlins is expected to include up to 1,000 wind turbines.

Roundhouse Renewable Energy, LLC is seeking to build a wind energy facility nine miles west of Cheyenne.

The wind farm would enable local commercial utility customers to get up to all of their electricity from renewable sources.

A company obtaining a permit must mitigate the likelihood of eagle deaths before, during and after construction.

Wyoming also sees wind flow generally different than that of the western plains, where many of Colorado's existing farms are built.

The scientists plan to study the herd to see whether their seasonal movements and habitat use change because of the new wind turbines.

The council is expected to decide how to divide the impact funding on Monday.
