I haven't seen that article. Do you have a link or source?

Check the on-line version of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. It was just in there in the past couple of days.

Go it. Thanks.

Yes, these projects seem to be well outside the ones proposed for southern Hale County. Glad to see Roosevelt County, NM may get an economic boost.

I don't know where this wind tower is but it looks like Crosby County is a "go."

No turbines yet near the proposed Petersburg wind farm. However, there is what appears to be a huge new oil well going in about 9 miles NE of the town.
