At its regular meeting Monday, several members of the council said the plan was moving too quickly. Ward 7 Councilmember Diane Marlin said it was “troubling” that the University was pushing for the turbines without involving the city of Urbana. “I support alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar power, as a commitment to the future,” she added. “However, I’m also committed to the present, where it’s our responsibility to protect the interests of Urbana’s residents and businesses and to mitigate the impact of these enormous structures.” The 40­foot turbines will stand along Philo Road and will provide at least 1.5 megawatts of power exclusively for the University.
