Let me see if I have this straight . . .

There's a wind turbine out at the airport that is going to go into operation this fall, at a cost of $2 million, and it will generate 2,500 megawatts of electricity a year.

The pilot river turbine at L & D 21 is going to cost $6.6 million initially for the first phase. If that works out, 30 turbines will then be installed, with electricity coming online by 2015 or 2017. Total yield from the full project will be "up to" 15 megawatts.

Is that correct? Or are some of these numbers out of line?

Seems to me that these questions should be discussed by the city with its investors, i.e., taxpayers, in full and complete detail.

Otherwise it's a pig in a poke.
