					<description><![CDATA[Windmills may be more plentiful and produce power more readily in the vast stretches of California and Texas than in Connecticut, but several towns remain undeterred in their search for cheaper energy.
Some local officials, fed up with the rapidly rising cost of power, are considering zoning law changes to permit wind power turbines. It&#8217;s the latest move by officials in Canaan, Goshen, Harwinton, Thomaston and Watertown to find less costly alternatives to heat schools and town office buildings.

					<description><![CDATA[North Stonington &#8212; The town is considering a proposal to build a six-turbine wind farm to help usher alternative energy forms into the state.
The startup consulting company Green Machine Bio is considering several sites throughout Connecticut and Rhode Island, including two in Stonington. But the proposal to build in North Stonington is the most concrete one so far because the site&#8217;s owners and the town seem to be embracing the idea, Green Machine Bio developer Bill Green said.

					<description><![CDATA[Northern New England is turning to the sun, wind and waste wood for clean, renewable power, but there&#8217;s a serious problem: the threat of gridlock on electricity &#8220;highways.&#8221;
A prime example is New Hampshire&#8217;s northern Coos County, where there are proposals to build renewable energy plants with roughly 460 megawatts of capacity — two-thirds of the proposed renewable projects in the state — to run over a transmission line that can only handle 100 megawatts.
The bottleneck is in Whitefield, the end .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am appalled by last week&#8217;s &#8220;Letter to the Editor&#8221; accusing Kevin Killeen of abusing his authority in the stated windmill controversy. First of all, Mr. Killeen was not representing the Board of Education at the last meeting. He attended as a Watertown resident.
If Ms. Smith would have been following the windmill issue, she would have realized that it was the Zoning Board of Appeals who abused their authority when they inappropriately approved a variance to erect a 55-foot windmill .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

If the Board of Aldermen supports a pilot project for wind energy recently approved by the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund, energy-harnessing windmills might soon be making an appearance in New Haven.
The CCEF-funded proposal — under which two or more types of wind turbines would be installed at as-yet undetermined locations throughout the city as early as next fall — is meant to reduce New Haven’s reliance .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

Connecticut lawmakers escaped a repeat of their 2006 legislative session by this year passing an energy bill, House Bill 7432.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell said June 4 she was signing the bill into law, but vetoed two sections. Among other things, .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

They are the first full-size turbines along the coast in New York and New Jersey and the region&#8217;s first working examples of a clean-energy technology that supporters say will one day ease dependence on oil and gas and begin to address concerns about global warming.

The wind feasibility project will consist of two phases. In Phase 1, which began Sept. 18, GEC will determine the amount of wind available on campus and indicate what size turbine, if any, is practical. Phase 2 will examine the regulatory, economic, engineering, environmental and aesthetic issues associated with such a project.
