The story was on WBBM and was an interview witha guy who has a winf turbine company. He thinks offshore turbines would be a great idea.<br>

But the lake is not the only place. There's a turbine going up along the Des
Plaines River right by an IBA. It seems very unlikely that is the only one.
The noise and light flicker from jumbo turbines cause a big conflict with
humans, which means they are going where people are not: in natural areas.

Subject: [BCNnet] Wind Power Generators
This afternoon I thought I heard something on the radio about someone
trying to get permission to build wind power generators in the lake just
off Chicago. However I came in in the middle of the story so I'm not
sure I got it right. Does anyone know anything about this? I'm concerned
because of the migrating birds.
