<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 12, 2012) A company that wants to erect 48 wind turbines in the town of Clayton recently announced it would seek permitting through the state&apos;s Article X, not the town council.  Another company did the same thing in nearby Cape Vincent earlier this year.Article X is a law passed last year. It gives a state board the authority to green light new power plants, including wind farms, possibly over local objections.

<title>Local elections influence two towns&apos; wind futures</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19098/20120111/local-elections-influence-two-towns-apos-wind-futures</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 11, 2012) The prospect of wind energy development has divided north country communities from Cape Vincent to Clinton County.  New York’s new Article X law gives developers the option to seek state review of where to put their wind farms.  But prior to Article X, accepting and siting the big turbines was up to each town. And companies can still choose local rather than state review. More than once, the conflict over wind has spilled over into local politics. That has been the case in both Cape Vincent, on Lake Ontario, and Hammond, on a windy ridge overlooking the St. Lawrence River. In both towns, last fall’s elections pitted incumbent supervisors who favor regulation of wind power against challengers who had already signed leases with energy companies to place wind turbines on their land. Joanna Richards reports on the likely impact of those elections.
