The Backbone Mountain ridge at Eagle Rock in southeastern Garrett County has been vastly altered, with 28 massive wind turbines now being erected. They can be seen for many miles. After years of debate, a long permitting process, and a variety of violations of water, air, and land regulations resulting in fines, Constellation Energy was successful in bringing the project to fruition, opening the door to more wind industry development in the county. This aerial shot was taken by Bob Browning, McHenry. The blades for the towers have been arriving over the past week or so, one of them resulting in a power outage yesterday when the delivery vehicle accidently tore down power lines near Mason School Road.
