Any bets on how successful this will be in a Reynolds County Court?

The enviros won't win because they are going about it all wrong, demanding state ownership. AmerenUE isn't going to win any PR points over this-- they could have engineered a partial conservation easement on part of Church Mountain to be held by someone like the L-A-D Foundation or Nature Conservancy, with part reserved for construction, (preserving the tax base they pay as owner) or something like the quasi-public/private arrangements they have at Lake Ozark along the lakeshore. But no one on either side was that innovative.
They only own 1400 acres? Is that the whole mountain? Doesn't sound like that big a parcel to me.
I doubt if it is 'almost over.'
I wonder what the folks around Reynolds Co. and the Green Team would think of a windmill farm being built on the mountains?

It makes a lot of sense to me:
The high tension lines to send the power to St. Louis are already in place. After the construction is finished, it is a clean safe source of power. I know some would argue this, but to me the setting sun glittering off the blades of dozens of lazily spinning windmills is a beautiful site.
