Who is liable?
It can no longer be said that wind infrastructure placements are an accident waiting to happen. Guardrails, junction boxes and monster transmission poles are all part and parcel of any wind powered installation. Under the Green Energy Act normal planning controls have been removed from the jurisdiction of local municipalities. This has seen transmission poles placed precariously close to road edges in the right of ways along our public roads. These “engineered” marvels are more then visual blight or examples of questionable planning as they are claiming human lives in multiple fatal collisions. Recently a transmission pole owned by Kerwood Wind ILP project which is a subsidiary of NextEra was involved in a collision that claimed the life of the car driver and resulted in serious injuries to the passenger .
