News Briefs

Great Lakes consortium downplays missing states
Wind Energy Update (5/14)
A consortium between the US government and five states to develop wind power in the Great Lakes is confident of making significant progress even though three other states bordering the Lakes have refused to sign.

GVSU wind buoy now collecting information in the middle of Lake Michigan
Muskegon Chronicle (5/8)
The buoy is only one of two in existence and the only one in the Great Lakes. The laser wind assessment system will measure wind speed and direction every second from 250 to 575 feet off the lake surface. That height is critical for the next generation of offshore wind turbines, which will have hubs reaching such heights.

EDITORIAL: Wind on water worth pursuing
Wisconsin State Journal (4/24)
Renewed interest in harnessing the wind on the Great Lakes is so intriguing and welcome. The lakes are home to an enormous supply of wind. And if placed far enough offshore, turbines would be practically — if not literally — invisible to the public.

EDITORIAL: Offshore wind farms have great potential for states
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (4/21)
Putting wind farms in the Great Lakes could provide new jobs and a reliable source of renewable power. What's not to like about this?

Out of sight: Floating turbine technology could put offshore wind farms in middle of Great Lakes
The Muskegon Chronicle (4/20)
Two Michigan universities have joined forces with a Seattle-based design company to pursue offshore wind technology that could be a “game-changer” on the Great Lakes.
