The other day I was driving in the “thumb” of Michigan through Pigeon, MI and I was surprised to see windmills. As I drove, I watched the hypnotic movement of these windmills in amazement. I stopped near one set of windmills to take the picture shown above. I listened to see if I could hear the windmill making a noise but I heard nothing.
This windfarm is made up of 32 windmills sitting on 3,200 acres. This project represents a $97 million dollar investment that produces 52.8 megawatts of electricity. On average, 1 megawatt will supply power for 500 homes. The wind farm is owned by Harvest Wind Farm who sells power to Wolverine Power Cooperative and 15,000 homes are powered.
In 2009, wind power grew by 31% worldwide. I am ready for wind power in Southeastern Michigan.
