National Wind Brings Unique Community Wind Development Model to the U.S. Midwest
http://www.triplepundit.com/ pages/ national-wind-brings-unique-co-003346.php
The Great Plains of the U.S. â Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Kansas â have often been referred to as the "Middle East" of wind. Many large utilities and corporate titans are well aware of the resources just waiting to be exploited through the plains and mid-west. Infamous oil wildcatter T. Boone Pickens recently spoke of the "absolute madness" of continuing to largely ignore this vast resource in our age of dwindling and ever more complex sources of oil. But many living in this wind corridor are farmers, ranchers, and members of small, rural communities, not a Pickens or some large developer.
