Sometimes I am just darned proud to call Evanston my home, and this is one of them. The City Fathers announced last week that they have set upon a path of planning for a healthy number of wind catching machines offshore in Lake Michigan (6 miles from shore). Although this is just in the initial discussion stage, already the naysayers have been heard from, complaining that such a facility would block the beautiful lake views of those on dry land. Point-counterpoint: anything that is 6 miles out from shore is hardly discernible from land, and if anything it will appear so small that it's not worth discussing (more or less).
We understand there will be lots of regulatory approval hoops to jump through, but it's exciting to think of this coming down our path, so to speak.
Yes, we take our Earth Day very seriously here in E-Town!
