Much-debated legislation to boost wind and solar farms in Indiana was thwarted during this legislative session, but a key state lawmaker said Thursday he hopes to revive the issue next year to help meet the growing need for renewable energy.
“We’ll bring back something,” vowed Rep. Ed Soliday, the bill’s author, as this year’s regular legislative session came to a close. “I don’t know whether it will look like this (bill) or what it will be.”
Efforts to send a message that Indiana is open for business to renewables came to an abrupt stop on Tuesday night. A bill that would have established some statewide standards for wind and solar projects but was amended to grandfather in counties more restrictive ordinances died on the Senate floor.
Despite significant amendments that had House Bill 1381 doing a 180 degree turn and handing more authority back to local governments, local control concerns still lingered, according to the bill s senate sponsor Sen. Mark Messmer, R-Jasper.
On the Senate floor Tuesday night, after withdrawing the bill, Messmer said that handling the bill was akin to being in a hostage negotiation with a schizophrenic. He said he gave local officials everything they wanted and asked for, but the captor still shot the person at the end of the ordeal anyway.
