All four projects aim to qualify for the federal wind Production Tax Credit, which was temporarily renewed by Congress in January. To qualify for the credit, which amounts to about 30 percent of a project’s cost but is paid out over 10 years, project developers must take steps to get started, such as ordering turbines, before the end of this year.

and part of the "green" energy mandate signed into law by former GOP guv Pawlenty.

At what cost to our feathered friends? Ban DDT and kill birds in the name of green energy.

Soon to be followed by wind powered cars.

I don’t like seeing wind turbines subsidized by socialists. I don’t care whether or not they provide much power. But building and mounting a huge one would be fun, just to emit the sub-sonic (imaginary) throbbing that NIMBY commies claim causes “WAUBRA disease” and/or insanity. It will be majestic, looming high and casting moving shadows over their cars, as they drive by, staring at the cameras that stare back at them.

Congratulations Minnesota...this is what you got yourselves into.

You heard of too big to fail. These are too big for the land owner to demolish once the green energy company walked away.

someone told me that each wind turbine had hundreds of pounds of copper.

he told me not to tell anyone.
