To paraphrase, nothing's really changed.

But it'll be interesting to follow up on what's planned for this pilot project.

Finally, the Company explained to the City Council that it was participating in a “pilot” plant to demonstrate the downdraft system. Pickett explained that he had visited the pilot tower on Monday this week and the construction tasks had been completed, the specially designed water pumping and spraying system had been fabricated and was on-site ready for retro fitting the stack and that the project should be complete and ready for testing by the end of this month

Will there be a video, I wonder?

Thanks for posting this link.

When we find out where the stack is, it would be great if there was a member within driving distance to check it out. But it is with a utility, so I guess no one would actually be able to see anything.

I agree with others, I hope there is video when pilot is tried to see if wind is generated.

I was thinking about the reduction of the number of tunnels (towers) from sixty to forty and the decrease in height from 300' to 150'. The idea behind the change is that the annual output would increase dramatically.

If my logic is correct, if the number of tunnels were reduced to twenty at 75-feet high with four turbines each then they would be ever more powerful and may light up all of Arizona.

Makes good sense to me.

This is my favorite part of the release:

Arizona Green Power, LLC has been working with potential investors to fund the project now that the total estimated project costs and output has been determined.

Arizona Green Power, LLC has engaged in preliminary discussions with potential Investment Tax Credit investors and brokers to form the Capital Stack for the project.

Arizona Green Power, LLC has a “verbal” proposal for the financing of the project with conditions and is evaluating the proposal and pursuing options to meet the conditions.

Maybe it's nit picky, but why is the third sentence separated from the first? And speaking of the third sentence, as usual, SWET's "evaluating" and looking at "options". And why is "verbal" in quotes? Is that like "sport" "wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean?" More to the point, so, this time (remember the vaunted National Standard ... oh, those were the days), it's not even a non-binding letter of intent.

These guys ... different day, same story.
