A Tale of Two Wind Farms: Part II

By Hilary McQuilkin on Thursday, July 6, 2006.

Commercial wind power has finally made it to New Hampshire.

Yesterday we reported that the state's first wind farm came online as a small 1.4 megawatt project on Jericho Mountain in Berlin.

Town officials and residents there have embraced the facility as a symbol of the town's future.

But in the second of our two-part series looking at wind power in the Granite State, we shift to the southwestern part of the state, to Lempster.

There a large 24 megawatt wind farm has been proposed for Lempster Mountain.

But, unlike in Berlin, this proposal has sparked a great deal of controversy.
