Wind farm in West Texas
Have you ever heard of something more exciting? My friend Andrew sent a great NYT article this morning,
Chinese and U.S. Partners to Build Big West-Texas Wind Farm, about a joint venture between China’s Shenyang Power Group and the U.S. Renewable Energy Group to develop wind power in Texas, but the exciting thing about this 1.5 billion dollar project is that the manufacturing and funding is coming from China.
Further, says the NYT, “The project would mark the first instance of a Chinese manufacturer exporting wind turbines to the United States market, according to the vice mayor of the city of Shenyang, Yang Yazhou, who spoke at a news conference announcing the joint venture.”
Construction begins on this project next March 2010.
something is happening now though!
