Victory! Local Wind Farm and Manufacturing Jobs by 2012

by Muskegon Critic

I can't help but feel like our pro-wind-farm movement in West Michigan helped to expedite Muskegon County's decision to proceed with a 150 MW wind farm in its massive waste water treatment facility. Fifty wind turbines the county hopes to begin construction on by 2012. (Thank you,  Muskegon County commissioners!)

Muskegon County ready to move forward with wind farm

County officials are planning to move rather quickly over the next couple months in setting up and selecting a wind developer for the planned project that would result in large turbines generating 150 megawatts of power.

Oh but that's not all...
