Wind Energy: Bans or Moratoriums (2022)
This dataset identifies counties and municipalities that had a wind energy ban or moratorium as of April 2022. A TIF data file and a PNG map of the data are provided, showing areas where wind energy bans or moratoriums exist across the contiguous United States.

"description": "In this, the 2023 edition of this report, we present new estimates of the technical potential for land-based wind and solar photovoltaics (PV) for the contiguous United States (CONUS). We also provide cost estimates for the available resources, presenting representative supply curves that can be used in downstream modeling and analysis. Additionally, we introduce new methodologies used to estimate wind capacity, wind energy losses, transmission cost and representation, updated technology cost and design, and scenarios of siting constraints designed to help bound the uncertainty of renewable potential."
