Wind opponents appeal to Vt. Supreme Court

Opponents of a wind farm in the Northeast Kingdom are taking their fight to the Vermont Supreme Court.

UPC Wind has state approval to put up 16 towers in Sheffield. Opponents say building the roads to the tower sites will cause storm water pollution that will damage fragile head waters. That claim was rejected by the Vermont Environmental Court but the opponents are appealing -- saying the environmental court misinterpreted and misapplied the state's water quality laws.
