From big to small. Today's story: a single turbine.
Location: St. Cloud, MN, VA hospital.
Data points:
- turbine had not worked "for years" despite much time, money and effort to get it to work
- from 2012 to 2019 -- seven years -- trying to get it to work; it worked for maybe 18 months
- will now be taken down
- cost: $2.3 million in federal stimulus money as part of a pilot project o use renewable energy
- during the Obama administration
- would have supplied 15% of the VA's electricity demand
- cost to bring this monstrosity down: $326,000 (of course that's just the estimate; we will probably never know the final bill0
- the turbine functioned for about 18 months, April, 2011, to August, 2012
- much more at the linked story including links to stories from the very beginning on this one
