I just received an e-mail a couple of minutes ago stating:
"I am pretty sure that Chicago is called the "Windy City" because of politicians talking or something like that, not because it is windy."
My response is, yes, that's true, but it's also very windy because it is on Lake Michigan, which is very synchronistic with the potential for wind energy in and around the Great Lakes area. Perhaps the Windy City will at some point justify the nickname in an entirely different manner - and be much better off in terms of energy reliability, environmental cleanliness, and economic base because of it. I certainly hope to see that come to pass.

A personal quest to promote the use of wind energy and hydrogen technology in the Great Lakes area of the United States. The Great Lakes area is in a unique position to become an energy exporting region through these and other renewable energy technologies. *Update 2014: Just do it everywhere - Dan*
