Report: Michigan added more wind power capacity in 2012 than most other states

We're number 1 in stupid. Actually we're number 1 in having an elitist minority with their hands in the pocket of the taxpayers.

Yeah but we stopped their BS with their attempted Constitutional Amendment for live time funds.

Where I work, we put up both a Solar Array and Wind Turbine.
The makers of the Turbine are now in Chapter whatever, bought out by G.E. Supposedly. Can’t get support, parts or service. It was installed in October. Enegery Monitoring software/hardware does not work so who knows if it is generating or just chasing birds.

The 6 segment solar array is generating electricity. One a clear sky day it generates about 25 cents worth of electricity (3-5 kwh). Well worth the 10-15k investment. /s
This specific system requires 3 phase power to the array to power the drive that tracks the sun and monitoring hardware.

Of course this was purchased with public tax dollars. No sensable person on a budget they have to watch would even consider such a waste.
