Wind power can be a major source of tax revenue, but officials struggle to get communities on board

Ford County's nearly 200 wind turbines owe $3.8 million in property taxes, contributing about 10% of the county's total taxes, according to AP's analysis.
In 2017, Ford County local government imposed a moratorium on wind projects and strict regulations, significantly limiting future development.
Saffer described these local decisions as "community decisions," emphasizing that school districts depend on such income for their existence.
