As he writes:
But as huge as that operation is, wait until DTE Energy gets rolling. The utility has been easements on some 25,000 acres of Thumb farmland around Caseville, Port Hope and Bad Axe. enough land to erect 250 windmills which could generate as much as 500 megawatts of power... enough to power nearly 125,000 homes.
UPDATE 10:20 PM: I just finished watching an ABC 7 Chicago segment on wind power. Bureau Valley High School in north central Illinois erected a wind turbine that not only powers the tne entire school, excess power is placed on the electric grid, putting $30,000 into the treaury of the school each year.
A school district near Erie, Illinois, near the Iowa border, is also putting up a wind turbine.
