I found this article on a site called:
This site is pretty sweet when it comes to "eco" events, news, developments, and ideas. So you might want to check it out.
The article or "press release" is titled "GE UNIT, UNIONBANCAL UNIT, BUY CALIFORNIA WIND FARM FIRST PHASE OF ONE OF LARGEST US WIND ENERGY PROJECTS STARTING OPERATIONS" which pretty much sum's up what the whole thing is about.
Basically GE decided to buy the first wind farm that it needs to begin a wind energy project. This project is planned to be a 3,000-megawatt project. When complete it will provide electricity for 1.4 California homes. This article was very interesting to me because it not only demonstrates our steps towards furthering our dependance on alternative energy but it also demonstrated a company's good faith in allowing for the sale of the company to allow the company (Terra-Gen) to continue to operate itself and aid in the generation of $6 billion for renewable energy invesments. I hope that GE continues on this path of its "commitment to ecoimagination".
