The Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council released Monday the conclusions members drew from an eight-day hearing last summer on the proposed Horse Heaven wind and solar project in southeast Washington.

The project, up to 222 turbines and more than 5,000 acres of solar panels, would transform the scenic Horse Heaven Hills in Benton County, but would help combat climate change, the council concluded.
