Thought those of you who keep track of alternative energy might be interested in this article:
[Toronto] Globe and Mail 29/10/02. <<http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/GIS.Servlets.HTMLTemplate?current_row=1&tf=tgam/search/tgam/SearchFullStory.html&cf=tgam/search/tgam/SearchFullStory.cfg&configFileLoc=tgam/config&encoded_keywords=transalta+plans&option=&start_row=1&start_row_offset1=&num_rows=1&search_results_start=1&query=transalta+plans>> Ironic that Alberta, which is by far the country's largest oil (and coal) producer, also leads the country in wind power. Most of them are those big Vestas 3-blade turbines. The place names in the chart at the end of the article may not mean anything to those outside Alberta, but Hillspring (a Mormon town), Pincher Creek and the Peigan Reserve are in the "exit barrel" of tremendous winds that come pouring through the Kicking Horse Pass. Note that some of the projects exceed 20 MW; we're talking serious wind energy here. -- Marc A.
