"James Madison University's wind-energy efforts are getting an $800,000 lift from stimulus money. Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling announced the funding for the school's small wind-training and testing facility in Harrisonburg during his appearance yesterday at the State Wind Energy Symposium. JMU will use the money to develop a training curriculum on small wind turbine safety, site assessment, installation and troubleshooting. The funds will also pay for the relocation of an existing tower and a new tower and turbine, among other things. As interest grows in using wind turbines to provide power to homes and farms, so does the need for trained workers, said Stephen Walz, director of the Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy. "There are a growing number of companies in Virginia that are installing new systems, and we want to support the growth of these companies and these jobs," he said." http://www2.timesdispatch.com/news/2010/jun/18/WIND18-ar-206846/
