					<description><![CDATA[REGINA &#8212; As a result of an agreement signed Monday, there could soon be a new crop of windmills springing up on the Saskatchewan prairie. 
All Nations Energy Developments Corp., which is owned by the Cowessess and George Gordon First Nations, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Calgary-based TransAlta Corp. to develop a proposed 100-megawatt wind farm, which could be located on the Cowessess First Nation.

					<description><![CDATA[
A Saskatchewan First Nation is getting into the wind power business.
Beardy&#8217;s and Okemasis First Nation, located about 90 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, plans to develop a 100-megawatt wind farm in the rural municipality of Big Quill.
The First Nation is partnering on the project with SkyPower, a Toronto wind power company.
Beardy&#8217;s and Ogemais Chief Rick Gamble said the project will provide local benefits, including job training programs and employment for locals.
It will also have a positive impact on local tourism, he .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[REGINA &#8212; A wide-ranging study into ways more electricity can be produced in the province through wind power has been launched by SaskPower.
A portion of that review, to be done with the assistance of private consultants, will study wind conditions in various areas. That study could help address issues about the advisability of having wind-powered facilities widely distributed across the province versus concentrating such facilities in areas where there is the most wind.
&#8220;Wind is a very unique electrical product,&#8221; said .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The reason people build windmills is because they are a way to generate electricity to power our homes and factories.
As well, wind is a renewable resource that doesn&#8217;t emit pollutants or create huge river diversions or reservoirs. Windmills don&#8217;t require complicated storage of dangerous nuclear waste. They don&#8217;t use coal. You build them and they spin relentlessly.
We erect windmills because they are gentle on the environment and, oh yes, they create profit for the owners. But we want a planet .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It was so windy in Saskatchewan Tuesday, sometimes even the wind generators couldn&#8217;t keep up.
SaskPower has 116 giant, three-bladed wind turbines around Swift Current in the southwest that are designed to handle winds up to 95 kilometres per hour.
However, some of the powerful gusts that swept through Saskatchewan throughout the day were stronger than that.
The turbines couldn&#8217;t handle the strongest gusts, SaskPower spokesman Larry Christie said.
&#8220;The performance was up and down,&#8221; he said. &#8220;At times, the turbines were shutting off.&#8221;
