Rural Idaho county reconsiders its renewables ban
Original: Grist: A rural Idaho county banned renewables. It’s having second thoughts. https:// grist.org/energy/a-rural-idaho -cou
A rural Idaho county that banned renewable energy development is now reconsidering the decision, according to Grist. The story is drawing attention among climate and clean energy observers, who see it as an example of communities weighing the economic and practical costs of rejecting wind and solar projects after the fact.
Why now: It highlights growing tension in rural America over renewable energy bans and their consequences.
