New Wind Company Counts the Cost
The Daily Telegram reports newly formed Great Lakes Wind LLC is working to set-up a community wind project of 4 or 5 wind turbines to power the Global Ethanol Plant near Blissfield, Michigan. More than $22,000 of equipment has been ordered for wind-metering which will stay atop cell phone towers for 2 or 3 years to collect data for turbine installation locations. In the meantime, the cost of wind turbines could rise to $2 million a piece by 2012.
