Consider amending Article 21C Permitting of Wind Energy Facilities of the North Carolina General Statutes to identify areas where wind energy projects are not permissible , where coordination with the military is required and where wind energy projects are not detrimental to the military mission with the intent of minimizing the area of applicable restriction . Consider incorporating a process to fast-track the permitting of wind energy facilities where development is not detrimental to the military mission and where it can be accomplished through coordination with the military . Consider establishing a land exchange program between government agencies and affected counties that would facilitate the development of wind energy facilities in areas of no impact on the military mission while preserving those areas of greatest concern .
