BLOWIN' IN THE WIND. A Wind Power Summit meets in Chicago, concurrent with the blowing in of the Mendota Hills Wind Farm, soon to be lighting up a Naperville near you. The wind farms are still recipients of seed money, to the extent of a 1.8 cent per kilowatt-hour tax credit for windmill owners. There had to be a lot of tax credit generated today, it would have been a great day for Laser sailing.
