  • How You Can Invest in the Pickens Plan [View article]
    Good piece. We just drove I-90 across MN and saw dozens of wind mills. At a motel, talked to a maintenance crew chief for a maker of the windmills. He's building a 30-man maintenance crew. His firm has just installed 100 and will have 360 in the area by yearend. $2.5 mill per windmill. Power companies are taking advantage of tax credits to build the things, which pay for themselves in 4 years, the guy said. A farmer told me farmers get $4k for allowing an installation, plus, I guess royalties. I plan to look into it for my farm. Wondering about windmill syndrome, which was reported last week. People, especially kids, find it hard to sleep and reportedly have other problems if they live too close to a wind mill.

    Why some wind mills are operating and others aren't: Broken. Down for maintenance. Not commissioned, yet.
