Summit Ridge Energy gets permit for Monroe County wind towers

The Monroe County Planning and Zoning Department granted Summit Ridge Energy LLC a conditional use permit (CUP) to build wind towers and accessory structures in the town of Ridgeville yesterday. Richard Yarrington was the only member to vote against the permit on grounds of insufficient information. The town of Wells was also on the agenda for discussion, but was tabled to the next meeting.

The Tomah Journal editorialized on opposition to energy production facilities:

Another proposed energy-production facility in Monroe County. Another round of determined, impassioned opposition.

This time it’s an ethanol plant in Sparta. Century Foods has filed a lawsuit trying to block Coulee Region Area Renewable Energy from opening an ethanol plant on Sparta’s east side. The plant is scheduled to open May 1.

The lawsuit coincides with an intense debate over wind turbines in the town of Ridgeville. The two cases expose an obvious contradiction: We love consuming energy, but we don’t want to live anywhere near a facility where energy is produced. (Some argue that no net “energy” would be produced by Sparta’s corn ethanol plant, but that’s another issue.)
