Invenergy to Shelve Pantego Wind Farm | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The News and Observer is reporting that the Chicago based Invenergy is shelving the Pantego Wind Farm scheduled to begin later this year. The project was scheduled to lease land from farmers in northeastern Beaufort County and then, in-turn build, 49 wind mills 300 feet tall, which would spin turbines to create electricity to be sold to Old Dominion Power.

    Just earlier this week, Governor Pat McCrory met with Doweast Dignitaries, and during their question and answer period, offered, unprovoked, a question as to how the North Carolina Utilities Commission approved the Pantego Windfarm without consulting North Carolina's military personnel, who have the good sense to be in charge.

    Here the News and Observer discusses what may be the end of an eastern North Carolina alternative source of "green energy."
