An old war machine building in Wisconsin now produces pieces for wind farms. Journal Sentinel Manitowoc - A mammoth building that once produced deadly machines of war is now being used to make peaceful machines of conservation. Doors that sent submarines off to sink the ships of America's enemies now admit sheets of steel to be fabricated into towers to hold the electric windmills dotting America's countryside. The activity is part of Tower Tech Holdings Inc., a young Wisconsin company poised to cash in on the green energy boom. The increasing price of oil and concern over global warming provided the initial impetus for the wind power boom, and tax credits have provided additional fuel. |
