Utility drags feet on Michigan wind power project

"If they don't spin, they will sit there as a monument" to a utility that doesn't support green power, said Brion Dickens, a wind developer who installed the turbines.

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.

Meanwhile, two wind developers plan to bypass DTE and its distribution lines and begin construction by next year of more than 60 turbines in nearby Bingham Township.

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.

1. Sounds to me like they need a NEW electrical engineer.........
that knows what the hell they are doing. This looks like an easy 'fix' project.
