High winds prevent debut of wind turbine in Michigan
The first of hundreds of new wind turbines planned for Michigan's Thumb region was being erected, when something caused a delay.
Wind.
It was just a little too windy on Tuesday to put up the turbine on farmland between Pigeon and Elkton.
The winds picked up as the nacelle, which is where electricity will be produced, was put on top of the tower, creating a risk situation for the blade installation.
Heh... Wind power is a good idea but it will never replace baseline generation -- we need nuclear power for that if we want to improve the pollution from Coal and cut our dependence on fossil fuels.
