The City owns the land behind James River Equipment, they own the power generator across the street to the north along with additional land on the north side of Highway 34, which could accomodate wind equipment. The transmission lines are already in place to serve Madison and perhaps sell power to other areas. Madison could be a leader in natural power generation using the abundant wind we have and some of the properties our city already owns and controls.GoldManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09478566547133172418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-80933184725827970542009-10-14T08:26:47.982-06:002009-10-14T08:26:47.982-06:00I'm not going to complain about that federal s...I'm not going to complain about that federal subsidy. Now is the time for the feds to step up and encourage the development of more renewable forms of energy. We need to reduce our dependence on imported oil and if the total cost of those imports was widely known their cost would look like even less of a bargain.<br /><br />I ran into a "drill baby drill" guy the other day. He thinks the earth is only a few thousand years old and new oil is being produced even as we speak at rates greater than current use. We just have to go find it. I was stunned by his insistence and refusal to listen to other arguments or evidence. <br /><br />He is a member of a evengelical church with a very charismatic preacher. Faith over science. Kind of scary when you run into it face to face.Nick Nemecnoreply@blogger.com
