Hydroelectric power at Peninsular Dam? Ypsi City Desk says YES

Wow, what a GOOD idea.

The A2 News is reporting that Ypsilanti City officials are considering using the long dormant Peninsular Dam to generate clean, SELLABLE hydroelectric power.

City Council member Bill Nickels (Ward 2) is quoted as saying Ypsi could power 450 homes and raise roughly 150,000 clams a year to help offset the overall 450,000$ per year in electric outlays the city spends now.

It's only in the study stage but boy howdy, The City Desk is behind this 100%.

Mr Nickels if you'd like to use this forum to keep Ypsilanti updated, feel free...

I'm all for anything that will generate money for the city without adding to the hooker/degenerate population.

Unfortunately, Ypsilanti has an uncanny ability to completely F up any promising business venture that decides to set up shop within the city limits.

Yes, they do seem to have that ability. It's almost like they're not lacking for good ideas but need a CLOSER to finish off these ideas.

Hopefully this is one everyone can get behind and we can see some results and then some clean, green cash.
