Just to clarify: EDC did, and always has supported the Lompoc Wind Energy project. We actively support developing alternatives to carbon based fuels. Assuring the future success of alternative energy projects requires reducing incidental and avoidable damage to the surrounding environment however. We worked with the Applicant and the County to devise conditions that will protect native wildlife, including eagles, kites, owls and hawks. These conditions do not threaten the project, but make it a better one. The Planning Commission agreed, and added appropriate conditions to its approval. This was a win-win situation - and we are proud of our role.
