Maybe your state has similar presentations.

There are a lot of new issues coming into play with respect to energy and many states are pushing for renewable energy to be a significant part of energy production. Our state is on the low side and I believe is pushing for about 10% solar and wind by 2015.

Most of our power is from coal and nuclear with peaking from gas. Coal and nuclear are very low cost.

A couple of references on the DTE wind farm project:

70,000 acres is 109 square miles. If concentrated 10 miles by 10 miles.
