Couple Ordered To 6 Months In Jail Over Backyard Wind Turbine

July 2, 2014

There’s a big battle brewing near Lake Minnetonka, and it involves a home-made wind turbine used as an alternative energy source in one yard. Now, the city of Orono says it has to go or the owner is heading to jail.
The fight may be less about green energy and more about bad energy between neighbors. No fewer than a dozen lawsuits have been filed, and on Wednesday, a judge decided he may hold the homeowner who built the wind turbine in contempt. Meanwhile, Jay Nygard contends he is fighting for his rights.
It’s clear that Nygard is on a crusade. He refuses to take down the 30-foot wind turbine in his back yard even though the city of Orono has sued him over a zoning violation. A judge has already ordered him to take it down because it was too close to property lines and the correct permits hadn’t been pulled.
