A bill making its way through the Arizona Legislature would restrict new wind farm projects to sites at least 12 miles from any property zoned for residential use, leaving almost no land available for wind energy in the state. If passed, it would become the most restrictive law limiting wind power development in the United States and would remove about 90% of Arizona's land from consideration for this renewable energy infrastructure, according to an analysis by The Arizona Republic and USA TODAY.

If passed, the proposal would become the most restrictive law limiting wind power development in the U.S., according to an analysis by The Republic and USA TODAY. The bill's sponsor says one of his aims was to ensure that energy companies put up funding to clean up sites once a project is decommissioned. The measure has drawn support from rural Arizonans who are fighting a wind project near Springerville, arguing that it would be a threat to the environment.
