The principles applied to wind energy siting issues must promote efficient, fair and open permitting processes at the federal, state and local levels. Project siting guidelines must address wildlife and habitat issues, military and non-military infrastructure, and community concerns. Given all the potential benefits of wind energy development, the wind industry’s impacts should be considered in context with other forms of energy production and treated accordingly during the policy-making process. Please see the siting policy page for more resources on this topic.
