Horizon Wind, the company building the Big Thunder Wind Park, is financing the research some Lakehead University engineering students are doing on wind turbines. Horizon's Kathleen MacKenzie says the students are designing a prototype turbine for residential use. She says it's a way to fill a need for small scale wind power development so it can be accessible to anyone who wants it. MacKenzie won't divulge how much the company is giving the students for their study.
