NEW YORK -- Boone Pickens no longer plans to build the world's largest wind farm, a spokesman for the Texas billionaire told the Dallas Morning News. Pickens had already delayed some of his plans. Now he said he instead plans to build five or six smaller wind farms in the Midwest and possibly Texas. Hurdles faces by Pickens included lower natural gas prices, which made power from wind less desireable, plus a lack of transmissions lines. "It was a little more complicated than we thought," Pickens told the newspaper.

Stimulus funding is now available for homeowners to make that energy efficient improvement to their home.
Today (Monday July 6th) Congressman Paul Tonko held a news conference in Troy with Karen Gordon, Executive Director of the Commission on Economic Opportunity for the Greater Capital Region, and Kathy Cloutier of the Albany Community Action Partnership.
The news conference was held at 8 Garden Court in Troy, which has undergone weatherization improvements.
In a press release sent out many agencies say they now have the money for projects all thanks to a boost in funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and are now seeking qualified candidates.
Congressman Tonko says, "We need to get the word out to low income homeowners that money is available to weatherize and improve the energy efficiency of their homes. The stimulus funds are there to provide for home improvements that will dramatically improve energy efficiency, save homeowners money, and provide work for contractors during slow time in the economy. We encourage homeowners to contact their local agencies to see if they qualify for the program"
