Wind energy creates green-collar jobs, fuels economic growth
As Michigan's leader in the emerging wind energy industry, the Upper Thumb is in a unique and exciting position. We are experiencing a type of economic boom that is entirely new to Michigan. Now that the Harvest Wind Farm near Pigeon has started operating, we are receiving even more positive attention and investment interest.
On this page, I have gathered some resources about wind energy that I believe are helpful. I will add more to this page soon. If you have a suggestion or request for something to add, please let me know.
