The Ohio Supreme Court upheld the Ohio Power Siting Board’s approval of a proposed wind farm project despite objections from nineteen residents and the Black Swamp Bird Observatory who argued the project “could disrupt the area’s water supply, create excessive noise . . . , and kill bald eagles and migrating birds.” The court concluded that there was “sufficient probative evidence” of the 71-turbine project’s environmental and economic impact and that petitioners had “not established that the board’s order was unlawful or unreasonable.”
