CT Warming to Allure of Wind Power

Brian Driscoll doesn’t regard himself as a pioneer, rather a businessman using a natural resource. When Driscoll switched on a 100-kilowatt wind turbine at his Phoenix Press printing facility in New Haven, little did he know that his decision to go with wind instead of another renewable will reveal him as a trailblazer in an emerging state market.

“I was really just looking for ways to reduce my monthly electricity costs,” Driscoll said.

With lower product prices, continued high electricity rates, improving technology and high-profile projects, Connecticut will embrace solar power’s cousin.
