The Weld County commissioners approved a $1.67 billion wind and solar project in the Chalk Bluffs region of the county Wednesday after hearing a myriad of concerns from the public. The Greeley Tribune reports the board voted 3-2 in favor of the development. Located in northern Weld County between U.S. 85 and Colorado 390, the Chalk Bluffs Energy Project is expected to produce 79 wind turbines and utilize more than 2,200 acres for solar panels. It would generate 805 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 600,000 homes.
