After reading these posts, I'm a little surprised that the turbine in Toronto is located where it is.

It's close to the Gardner Expressway, not far from Exhibition Stadium if I remember correctly.

Not sure if there are any widely used in the Texas area, but they are certainly there.

When I would drive through Western Texas the area was dotted with them, but they looked as if they were owned privately.

I wonder if it makes even more sense to locate wind turbines near oil rigs, where the land may be otherwise unsuitable for development?

So, maybe Chicago, the Windy city, would be a good place to try this? ; )

I don't know about other places but I know that here in Canada, we have a bunch of turbines out on the prairies that get quite alot of wind and there is alot of unused land.

I guess it really depends on your location to be able to use wind.
