Marine windmills -- coming soon to a Great Lake near you?
They don't call it the Windy City for nothing -- and out in the lake off Chicago's shore, those winds can be even stronger than in the city streets.
That's why Chicago's neighbour on the North Side is considering building an offshore wind farm.
Tuesday night, the City of Evanston will consider a plan to build wind turbines more than 6 miles offshore, MyFoxChicago.com reported. If built, the marine-based windmills could be the first of their kind in the United States.
Several city officials are backing the plan, but even if it passes, the project must jump through a bevy of regulatory hoops, and wouldn't be completed for years.
