Do any American readers own property with ideal conditions for a wind farm? Well, you might want to get in touch with Boone Pickens then and make a deal. From Thomas Content of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel yesterday:

Texas oil tycoon and clean-energy pitchman T. Boone Pickens may be looking to develop a wind farm in Wisconsin, now that his proposal for the largest wind farm in the world is on hold.

Pickens said this week he’s backing off a plan to build a 657-turbine wind farm on the Texas Panhandle. Pickens later said the project isn’t canceled, only delayed a few years. But with his turbines already on order, Pickens told the Dallas Morning News he’s exploring the possibility of developing a series of smaller wind projects around the country.

Wisconsin is one of the states he’ll consider building a project, he said. The largest wind farm operating in Wisconsin, the Blue Sky Green Field wind farm built by We Energies, has 88 turbines.
