Drury said he thinks DTE eventually will come up with a solution that works. "PR-wise, it's too important a project for DTE to have festering," he said.

Noble Environmental Power of Connecticut and RMT Inc. of Grand Rapids plan to connect their turbines to transmission lines run by the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Noble and township officials said.
