However the Great Lakes are closer to a substantial amount of the nation's energy use, and so line losses are lower.BruceMcFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08502035881761277885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800203224024653867.post-64653403379913565602007-03-26T15:26:00.000-04:002007-03-26T15:26:00.000-04:00I always thought North Dakota - the whole state - ...I always thought North Dakota - the whole state - would make a nice windfarm.

And as shallow as Lake Erie is, that makes it the natural place to start, because its possible to lay a line heading out from shore and keep putting up wind generators to the Canadian border. ...<BR/><BR/>... which makes Cleveland and Toledo natural foundation stones for the Great Lakes wind generating industries.BruceMcFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08502035881761277885noreply@blogger.com
