If Tony can get someone to loan the 12.5 million to buy Dadon's land and millions more to put up wind turbines there is another problem. Apparently no transmission lines to get the power off the California land. And if that is finally accomplished, another problem appears to be lurking in the wings.
---------------------------------------------------------
"Already, more than 300,000 megawatts of wind projects are on hold because of insufficient transmission capacity, according to the American Wind Energy Association. That would provide 20 percent of the nation's electricity needs.
"Transmission is really the glass ceiling for renewable energy development right now," said Beth Soholt, director of Wind on the Wires, a coalition of wind energy advocates based in St. Paul, Minn.
Federal energy officials want 20 percent of the nation's energy to come from wind by 2030. That would eliminate 825 million metric tons of carbon emissions a year, create 500,000 new jobs and boost the economy by about $450 billion.
Plan faces obstacles
AWEA has called for investing billions to build "green power superhighways" consisting of high-voltage lines to integrate wind and reduce congestion.
But the plan faces two major obstacles. One is deciding where to put the new interstate lines and power stations. The other is deciding who pays for the overhaul."

Wind power = a good idea
But a company with $ 3 in bank, needing 12.5 million to buy land and millions more to put in wind turbines, having to solve the local and nationwide transmission lines problem and headed by Tony Cataldo.
Now there's a longshot folks!
