Texas Jury Rules In Favor Of Texas Wind Energy Industry

Posted by TotalInjury.com Staff Writer | Posted in Personal Injury News

The first of many public nuisance lawsuit against the Texas wind energy industry ended in favor of FPL Energy, the builder of the Horse Hollow Wind Farm.  Neighbors in Abilene, Texas near Houston argued the sound and size of the 400-foot turbines on the world’s largest wind farm interfered with their enjoyment and use of their property.

Jurors were only allowed to consider the noise not the size in this Texas personal injury case.  The Texas jury ruled against the personal injury plaintiffs, Dale Rankin and other landowners.  Steve Thompson, the attorney for the plaintiffs plans to appeal the Texas personal injury verdict.

The Texas legislature continues to support the progress of wind energy and more wind farms are expected to be built in Texas.  At the same time, additional public nuisance civil lawsuits continue to be filed in Cooke and Jack counties against wind farm owners.
