Wednesday’s federal court decision is unprecedented. It requires Enel to remove 84 wind turbines it built in Osage County by December 1, 2025. The decision signals the end of the longest-running legal battle over wind energy in American history. And it’s ending with a colossal black eye for Big Wind.

Such great news!! Now the tribe needs to hold their feet to the fire and make them follow through on actual removal!!

[@larrydonovan4052]

Was this solely a permitting fight, or is there more to it? Very interesting

[@bajabell]

Fantastic news

[@azlandpilotcar4450]

Awesome!

[@ImmashellMilo4044]

Excellent news!!

[@ricshumack9134]

Congratulations, fantastic result

[@jamespilbeam209]

Awsome!😅

Why don't you say a few minutes instead? Because the videos are always 2+ minutes.

Removing the turbine foundations will be a nightmare. I bet they try to make a deal to remove the towers and leave the foundations.

Why is this good? A company wanted to invest in new energy capacity, and a bunch of Nimbies have blocked them. How does that benefit the economy and the wider community?

[@tsmith2736]

Because big corporations should never be allowed to just come in and expropriate property and get away with it.

Are you on the same Planet ???

Because it removes an expensive and unreliable weather-dependent power generation source that was installed in large part to harvest subsidies and tax credits. In a few years (perhaps 8 to 10), the company would be back to harvest more subsidies to "replace and upgrade" the wind turbines, all the while continuing to harvest production tax credits. In the meantime, the increased penetration of this intermittent and grid-following (look it up) power generation is a parasite on the grid, making the grid more fragile, eventually requiring overbuilding and curtailment to generation at certain times, and crowding out long-term investment in reliable baseload and dispatchable grid-forming (again, look it up) power sources. The answers to our rapidly-increasing power needs are natural gas as a bridge to nuclear power generation. To repeat: we need reliable, non weather-dependent baseload and dispatchable power.
