Last week, the commissioners voted to send a letter to the Sussex County Council asking for its rejection of a conditional use request from a US Wind subsidiary. While the company has presented its request to construct an electric substation in the heavy industrial zoning district, the county council has yet to issue a decision.
“They did not make a decision last month on a [conditional] use to allow the landing of the power cables from the windmills,” Commissioner Joe Mitrecic told his colleagues at the conclusion of last Tuesday’s meeting. “It’s a conditional use that they have to rule on that would allow the cables to come in through the Indian River Inlet, and land up at the power plant I believe. So, I would make a motion that we send Sussex County a letter asking them not to grant that conditional use to the wind farms, that they will be just as destructive to their ocean as it is ours.”
As proposed in its application to Sussex County, a conditional use approval will allow Renewable Development LLC to construct an electric substation and utility uses on a 140-acre property located off of Iron Branch Road in Dagsboro, Del. The project would bring cables from the proposed wind project onshore to connect to the power grid.
sussex will refuse to help worcester county because they are controlled by obiden and delaware is onboard with the windmills.
Has anyone else noticed that the Indian River Inlet bridge is already close to being destroyed by Mother Nature?
