Conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of an .agency adopted, <br />for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? <br />Comment a.-b.: The oroDDsed wind turbine would not create areenhouse <br />gas emissions and would not generate traffic that could contribute to <br />cumulative greenhouse gas impacts. (Source: American Planning <br />Association, Planning.Advisory Service Report Number 566; Planning For <br />Wind Energy.) Also, the wind turbine could provide valuable information on <br />this type of alternative energy source, which could reduce reliance on <br />carbon-emiitlng fossil fuels. <br />• •' 0 X <br />VIII.
