Rhode Island warms to wind power
This is good news. In a time when wind power gets a bad rap because of the affect on wildlife, it’s good to see more acceptance. I have to say I feel a little sorry for the students at schools where they’re installing wind and solar power. No more days off for power outages.
Rhode Island warms to wind power
At first, it took a little getting used to the 164-foot-tall, 660-kilowatt wind-power generator at Portsmouth Abbey School, according to Brother Joseph Byron.
But now, with the $1.2-million project completed for just shy of a month, he said, people are actually finding the beauty of it.
But while the school supports the project, what’s the opinion of the surrounding communities, which have decried similar projects in other states?
All positive, according to an informal survey commissioned by the state.
