The Bureau of Land Management has decided to shrink the Lava Ridge wind farm project in southern Idaho by nearly half, with fewer wind turbines and increased distance from a national historic site. The new preferred alternative aims to protect the Minidoka National Historic Site from potential negative impacts. The agency's final environmental review detailed the changes, including a reduction in the area disturbed and the number of turbines, emphasizing the balance between environmental preservation and energy production. If approved, the project could generate significant tax revenue and economic output.
