One of the dreams and goals of the North Central Michigan College alternative energy club recently came to fruition with the installation of a 30 foot tall Windspire wind generator on the campus. The club has been studying alternative energy along with raising funds and planning for purchase and installation of an on site wind generator for more than a year. With the help of Lake Effect Energy of Harbor Springs, Contractors Building Supply of Copemish, and Mazzter Electric of Petoskey the alternative club oversaw the installation of the Michigan produced Mariah Power Windspire wind generator. The club hopes to use the generator as a learning tool for students and the community to show how alternative energy can be a reality. The tower is located on the NCMC campus behind the Library Conference Center.
