We’re opposed to the way the wind farm’s going up here and the technology they’re using. These things are mammoth, George Bedford, a would be neighbor of the wind farm, said.

If this was being proposed for the Gaviota Coast or Hollister Ranch, we wouldn’t even had had the discussion. I will guarantee you the South Coast would have killed this immediately, Bedford said.

It’s a move we have to make if we are going to be a nation and a county of clean energy, and working towards being self-sufficient, said Dave Cross, vice president of the Committee to Improve North County.

Finally, Santa Barbara County is stepping forward with this and I think it’s a great move, Cross said.
