A newly formed alliance of landowners in southeast Wyoming says its has more than 6,000 megawatts of wind energy resources, but not enough power line transmission to finalize deals with developers. Bob Whitton is chairman of the Renewable Energy Alliance of Landowners, or REAL, which consists of 12 different landowner associations in the region and some individual landowners. Typically, it takes several neighboring landowners to make up enough acreage for a commercial-scale wind farm. The alliance represents more than 300 landowners with some 675,000 acres and 6,310 megawatts of wind energy potential. "We have tremendous wind assets. If you ranched out here you'd believe it," Whitton said. http://www.trib.com/articles/2009/07/01/ne...5e5007fc443.txt -------------------- Live Safe, Live Long.
