Opposition without bounds in Wisconsin

A dirty tricks campaign to prevent construction of a small 25 MW wind farm near the town of Addison, Wisconsin -- including the illegal placement of two members of the project's opposition group on the town council -- could be about to backfire on the perpetrators. After ten months of bitter dispute the project is once again back on the council agenda. But such is the animosity towards the opponents, whose tactics brought the town's administration to a standstill earlier this year, that the chances for a positive response to the permit application have improved considerably.
