Town of Howard
Today's Hornell Evening Tribune has a neat picture of the balloon used to prepare photosimulations for a windpower project in the Town of Howard:
The caption reads: "Representatives from EverPower, Inc. were in Howard Wednesday sending up test balloons to show how tall the proposed wind turbines will be. Photos were taken of the balloons while they were in flight so computer-generated images of the wind turbines can be produced. EverPower, Inc., contacted the Town of Howard in late 2004 and construction could begin this year with operation possible in 2007 if approval is given. The project would involve 20-30 turbines producing between 50-70 megawatts of power."
