Heidi Evans: “How awesome that so much power is generated from that wind farm. It is just as equally sad that more will likely not be built because of politics, like usual.”

Michelle Schmidt: “Does it affect the bird population and weather patterns like they do here in Wyoming? Pretty sure those are significant environmental impacts.”

Fred Henderson: “I worked on that project during construction and the first couple years of operations. It was a fun one. I’ve since moved on to fuel cells but Palouse Wind will always be a special one to me. Glad to see Shawn’s still keeping them spinning.”
