The wind energy regulations adopted by county commissioners in October appear headed to a vote after about two dozen people voiced their disapproval during a marathon Harvey County Commission meeting Tuesday morning that dragged into the afternoon. … The remainder of the meeting was contentious at times until commissioners agreed to consider a six-month moratorium on wind turbines and also put the issue of renewable energy to a public vote. Planning and Zoning Director Karen Rothe led off the official discussion by telling commissioners that the planning commission had been inundated with people asking them to revisit the 1,000-foot setback requirement or to ban wind turbines.
