Wind turbine plan scrapped by University of Illinois

The University of Illinois has canceled its plans to build wind turbines on campus, citing the university's "deteriorating fiscal condition."

A contract for GE to build and deliver a 1.5-megawatt wind turbine for the South Farms was sent last week to the university from GE, but university officials did not sign it.
