Re: Early years of offshore wind in Europe (1) (4.00 / 2)
Did you drive up US-52 to Chicago to avoid the traffic?  

There's a large wind farm in Benton county northwest of Lafayette, near the city of Fowler.

They've been there since the summer of 2008. I saw them on the way to Chicago for a conference in the spring of 2009.  Fowler Ridge Wind Farm is the fifth largest in the country.  

That area has a good wind resource, and the line to take the power out of state.

Indiana still lacks a feed in tariff or renewables mandate.  For the moment, this power is going out of state where those do exist.

And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
