What baffles me is that at least here in Wisconsin, our Governor has been pushing first for changes in the law and now changes in the public service policy saying that wind turbines have to be 4 times the blade tip high from the property line, current law gives a distance setback from houses, because it looks like these changes might take place investors in wind power in our state are working on canceling $1.8 billion in investments, scraping plans to build factories that would produce wind turbines and their parts, scraping whole projects and moving there investments to other states.
That $1.8 billion is not stimulus money, it is corporate and private investment money, people who see a 3 to 7 year return on investment as a good investment, if I had the money to invest and these projects were not being canceled I would invest in them as well! but sad to say our governor had some large contributions from big oil.
