great presentations at the Illinois Wind Working Group 3rd Annual Conference

Lesley and Bill attended the IWWG 3rd Annual Conference - Advancing Wind Power in Illinois 2009, at the Interstate Center, in Bloomington, Illinois - held this week Wednesday and Thursday, and hosted by the Center for Renewable Energy at Illinois State University. We learned a great deal about the state of wind energy in Illinois at present, and where the industry is headed. To see an agenda for the conference, go to this link. We also participated in a tour of Invenergy's Grand Ridge Wind Farm in Marseilles, IL. Although we work on a wind farm (a bird and bat mortality study), here in Wisconsin, it is always valuable to see how other facilities compare. At Grand Ridge we had an opportunity to see some turbines in various stages of construction, as well as completed and operational units.
