What do they know?
Tina's Blog October 10th, 2006Quote from yesterday's Indianapolis Star:
A year ago, few believed Indiana had enough wind to generate electricity.
Today, at least five developers are planning or prospecting for wind farms in Indiana, saying the potential exists to produce hundreds and maybe thousands of megawatts of electric power.
HA! Obviously those doubters have never been to Taylor. Especially during January, when you have to walk from the Science Building to the Dining Commons where there is NOTHING to block the wind. Maybe Taylor should consider setting up some wind towers on the campus. They could use the money they earned from that towards all kinds of things! I'm partial to the renovation of the Science Building personally.

Lived there, walked the same campus on the same type of day in January. That’s not wind. It’s a light caress from a mother’s hand compared to what you’d experience here.
Still, I’m sure there’s enough to generate a bit of power and every bit of alternative energy helps.

[...] We, along with most of the Mid-west, have had a major change in weather in the last few days. We had our first freeze last night (and a 30 degree temp drop in the last 24 hours). I know some of you (MATT & Amy) will laugh at us and our measly flurries, seeing as how you already got snow; but for this thin-blooded, transplanted Southerner, it was a sudden change and is now rather chilly out. (The were talking about WIND CHILLS this morning!) In honor of that, I have a pot roast going in the crock pot. It smells wonderful and is making me really hungry (the downside to crock pot cooking when you are home all day). [...]
