If You Build It, So Will They

September 10th, 2006 by owenam

Treehugger clued me in to the fact that St. Olaf is finishing up a wind turbine of their own. The headline proclaims that the Olies are “upping the ante,” but I’ll let you decide just how far it has been upped:

Carleton fired the opening round in the windmill battle, claiming the nation’s first utility grade windmill owned by a college, which started producing power (1.65MW) in September 2004. [...] In September of 2006, St. Olaf will join Carleton in producing 1.65MW from a turbine installed and owned by the Black & Golds.

Same output, two years later?
