Sweetwater Co. halts wind farm applications

The Sweetwater County Commission has approved a temporary halt to applications for commercial wind farms. The county has not met state standards for wind farm zoning. Commission Chairman Wally Johnson says that the county is not ready for any new wind farm projects.bbJohnson also questioned whether he was willing to sacrifice the county's "wide-open spaces" to the turbines, but said he is not "categorically against" wind energy.
