Bills advance that would add regulations to Oklahoma's wind energy industry

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Two bills working their way through the legislature could impact where wind turbines can be built in Oklahoma.

Senator Grant Green, R-Wellston, filed the bill which advanced through the Senate floor on March 27. It would prevent wind turbines from going up a quarter of a mile from a neighboring property owner’s home.

"I tried to find a balance for the neighbors and the property rights of the guy that bled and sweat and cried tears to pay for their mortgages,” said Green.
