FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 2012

Parts of the state are consumed in debate about whether hydrofracking, a process of extracting natural gas from the ground, is an environmental disaster or an economic Santa Claus, bringing jobs down the Southern Tier's chimney.

Up in the north country, we have our own version of that debate, and it's been going on for years. Is wind power development a good thing for communities up here?


Here is Jae Lee's story from today.

CAPE VINCENT — The town board will soon propose a six-month moratorium on wind-energy development, halting all activities pertaining to the installation of wind turbines in Cape Vincent while it formulates a new wind zoning law.

Town Supervisor Urban C. Hirschey said the moratorium will be presented to the public via the town website — townofcapevincent.org — within a week and then submitted to Jefferson County's Planning Board for its review.
