Wind Monitoring Begins For Lanark
| Lanark is taking a step in
the direction of renewable energy. June 9th, 2006 Lanark erected a
50 meter (165 feet) MET tower to monitor wind speed near the center
of Carroll County. The data will be available to the public so that
schools, entrepreneurs, farms, etc. that are nearby can use the
information to determine the viability of wind turbines on their
property. The results will be posted monthly at www.illinoiswind.org
beginning in late July, early August.

Assembling and erecting the tower was a community effort. Rory Artig usually has a three person team for the installation. But they could not make it this time. So, three Alderman; Ron Strohecker, Ed Stern, and John Huggins, along with Dave Keiser of the CCEDC, and The Fink brothers who are renting the farm from the City, all pitched in to help. Rory says this is the first time a community has helped with the construction. |
