I will6e a6le to make the meeting on Wednesday the 15th so I thought I would send in my opinion. I personally <br />do not 6etieve that wind energy is worth any further study due to the fact that there are no ways to store the energy that the <br />windmills produce. Most studies that I have read and articles on the subject of wind energy show that it would take decades to <br />recover the investment. The same goes for solar, I do not understand why everyone is pushing wind energy without the <br />technology to store the electricity. I understand that there are some test 6atteries from japan down near lr-ipestone at that wind <br />farm (I am not sure if they are in place yet�down there but from what I read they are the size of a semi trailer. dais is something <br />that may 6e possi6le 6ut it will6e a very long time to get a storage cell that is small enough to make them practical <br />I just hope the city of Xamsey has not spent any of our tax- dollars to get this research. <br />lfiG /'WI <br />Ramsey MN. <br />
