State Grant Builds Windmill that doesn't Churn

Just across from the Chelsea Creek sits a windmill intended to power an entire housing development that is stalled and appears not to have a future anytime soon. The electricity-generating machine doesn't appear to be working either since the blades sit idle.

The State invested $500,000 from the state's Renewable Energy Trust Fund that actually gets its money from a surcharge levied on electricity rate payers.

In fact, the only requirements included in the original Grant was for the designing and building of the windmill, and there were no stipulations that it ever had to work - let alone power the Green Economy.
