Wind Full Of Hot Air for Farmington


The Farmington School District, Abingdon, Knoxville, Galesburg and ROWVA Districts, and Sandburg College spent $70,000 and a year of study time to figure out that local generation of power from wind wouldn't pay off.

The PJS article says:
Part of the study looked at the possibility of the schools sharing the benefits of a wind farm, but the cost of getting electricity to the different schools appears to have nullified potential cost savings.

Apparently they think they could get something working with grant money to the tune of around $2 millions per turbine. Uhhh-huuhh.

Any takers?
