Windy City's Wind Turbines?

City planners to give wind machines a whirl

Wind power is coming soon to the Windy City.

But don't look for propellers mounted on poles. Chicago's wind machines will be thrust up into the breeze on the shoulders of its buildings.

This spring, planners said Monday, two wind turbines will be mounted on the Daley Center, and eight more on a Helmut Jahn-designed building on the Near North Side.

Plans to place turbines on the Museum of Contemporary Art for its "Massive Change" exhibit, opening in September, are in the discussion stage.>
