(AP) — The Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld the state's wind turbine construction rules Tuesday, saying they're valid even though regulators didn't develop a report on how the regulations would affect the housing industry. Supreme Court Justice Shirley Abrahamson wrote in the court's 33-page opinion that the Public Service Commission considered voluminous evidence about turbines' effects on housing — including a report from its own wind siting council, other states' regulations, expert testimony and public comments — and reasonably concluded the turbines don't hurt residential property values. In her dissenting opinion, Chief Justice Patience Roggensack said the Public Service Commission didn't follow state law in creating the rules and was obligated to obtain a housing report.
