It goes without saying, but since nobody's said it, "Wind power!"

I could swear Tom Syzmanski once claimed Fargo was the windiest city in America, but I saw a study a few years ago that seemed to contradict that.

At any rate, there's plenty of wind in Fargo. To not take advantage of it would be a terrible waste. I would agree with some who say windmills are kind of an eyesore, but there has to be some way to harness all this wind.

We presently buy all of our energy from Minnesota companies -- something that makes zero sense since we're the Saudi Arabia of wind. We should be making our own power from our most plentiful renewable resource -- the wind. Then we should sell it to Moorhead and Dilworth and West Fargo and Horace and on and on.... Sell it at a discount over our competitiors.

Now I'm off to chase my hat.
