New developments on wind turbines

Massachusetts has announced a grant program that will provide up to $600,000 per installation for wind turbines in the Commonwealth. The sticking point for this grant is that it must be submitted by June 4th of this year. That's a pretty aggressive time line to get a grant proposal prepared. Dr. Ron DiPippo, who has already done yeoman's duty as head of the Alternative Energy Committee, is already preparing to submit the grant request.

...I am hopeful that we can meet the deadline.
An additional $1.2 million dollars make this project very attractive as an alternative energy project. Last week, the Finance Committee finished their review of the economics of the project and gave it a positive nod.
