Many community leaders have said Muskegon, with its vaunted history in
skilled manufacturing, could be a natural for developing alternative energy. Add
to that Muskegon's location on the Lake Michigan shoreline with its steady
source of strong westerly winds and the Port City looks well-heeled to move
toward "green" energy.
Except that it appears Wisconsin has beaten Michigan and Muskegon to the punch when it comes to wind energy development. And Muskegon -- along with other West Michigan lakeshore communities -- doesn't have a seat at the table in Michigan as the issue begins to be explored in this state. http://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/index.ssf/2009/03/wind_swept_wisconsin_beating_m.html |
