I posted yesterday about the Colloquium over at Rochester Turning as a comment to the post on Brighton Going Green and looked back at the additional comments this morning. Found this excellent story on the Maple Ridge wind farm on Tug Hill in Lewis County.

From this article there appear to be some key learnings: 1) get someone local interested by 2) emphasizing the income from the turbines ($6,000 minimum per in this case). 3) And maybe most importantly, find a good site. Maple Ridge is at the east end of Lake Ontario (which is very flat ) and so gets pretty constant wind. Seems to me similar conditions would prevail south of Buffalo all the way to Erie, PA. Anyone know of activity in that part of the state?
