What is happening?
Kamiak Butte, and the Palouse as you know it, are in danger. Here’s what we know.
The Threat
Out of state landowners are leasing the land surrounding Kamiak Butte to developers who hope to build a nearly billion dollar industrial wind farm.

The map and associated visualizations include site data for finalized and pending leases and well as notional installation corridors and sites based on publicly available information. This information is a “best guess” and subject to change.

Keep the Palouse green – stop Harvest Hills!

The Process
The process of preserving the Palouse starts with you. Harvest Hills is ready to start construction this Fall, pending regulatory approval – and your vocal opposition.

Power Grid
This isn’t about renewable energy. This is about location. And simply, there are better locations for heavy industry than our National Landmark.

Location
The installation is planned in the heart of the Palouse – stretching from Steptoe, Atop Kamiak, and everywhere inbetween.

County Code
Whitman County code is currently unashamedly permissive of wind industry. This needs to change.

Turbine Size
Vestas has Proposed the V150 and V162 wind turbines for this project – significantly larger than the nearby Oakesdale project and taller than the Washington Monument and Space Needle.

Energy Cost
Little information has been released on the impact of these subsidized turbines on local electric costs.

Tourism
The area immediately surrounding Kamiak is famous around the world, forming the heart of “America’s Tuscany”.
