A look at the long history of the proposed Lake Erie Icebreaker Windfarm project.

A proposed wind energy project off the coast of Lake Erie is facing a lawsuit from two birding organizations.

The suit, filed by Black Swamp Bird Observatory (BSBO) in Ohio and the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) based in Washington, D.C., against the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Army Corps of Engineers, argues the DOE “shirked its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act,” along with the Clean Water Act and other environmental regulations.
