Another Stimulus Failure (military, money, federal, 2014)

[T-310]

ST. CLOUD, Minn. – A $2.3 million federal stimulus project at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in St. Cloud is giving green energy initiatives a bad name.
A 600-kilowatt wind turbine -- some 245 foot tall -- stands on the wintry VA grounds, frozen in time and temperature, essentially inoperable for the past 1 1/2 years. No one is working to fix it, though many attempts were made to repair the turbine, once billed as a model green energy project.

So if that $2.3 million makes you angry, I bet this $435 million waste makes you livid: Stop Jet Engine Pet Project That Military Does Not Want | FreedomWorks

Right? Hello? Hmmm...

Yeah - not only did the VA overpay but they gave their money to Elecon Turbowinds from India.
Hardly a Siemens, GE or Vestas.

Your beef should be with the St. Could VA, not stimulus or wind-power.
