[Winona Online Democracy] Hello Everyone,
Below is information for an interesting tour of the large wind turbine at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. The large wind turbines at Carleton College and the University of Minnesota-Morris were partly built with funds from the same Minnesotat Department of Commerce grant that Winona County and others are in the process of applying for right now. The tour will show people what the turbine looks and sounds like. There will also be people there to answer questions about the economics, engineering, and organization behind the turbine. While the mechanics of the turbine at Carleton College and the one that Winona County and others are proposing building are similiar, there are some differences. The main difference is that the Winona County Community Wind Turbine Project is trying to involve a diverse group of community partners. The tour is open to the pubic and anyone may come along. The bus reservations will be on a first come first serve basis. Please consider coming.
