Bill would require lights on wind turbines
After introducing a bill to require lighting systems on wind turbines, Rep. Chris Swedzinski, R-Ghent, said he hopes to spur renewable energy technology. "I brought up this subject in the House because I hope the Minnesota wind industry will embrace ADLS technology and deploy it in all new construction," Swedzinski's H.F. 3792 is a bill that would require wind companies to implement radar-activated lighting systems that turn blinking lights atop wind turbines and tall towers on and off depending on whether aircraft is in the vicinity.
