My snakey post on JCI elicited an email with this reminder of the wind project JCI almost sold the Duluth School District about the time of the Red Plan:
“I was at the SB mtg when JCI tried to sell Duluth on joining the wind farm venture.
One of the skeptical members said “there is no free lunch”
One said she wanted more information.
And AW was ready to sign that night.What is most interesting in this blurb from Rochester is that the reference to the complicated financial plan.
That seems to be JCI’s specialty.”
It came with this link from a 2008 Rochester Post Bulletin:
“Almost from day one, the funding mechanism for the wind farm has been puzzling to the point of being inexplicable, as have Johnson Controls’ claims that the district would likely make a little money while incurring no financial risk.”
Its almost like Johnson Controls is the Milwaukee gift to America’s schools that Governor Walker is the Madison gift to Wisconsin’s schools.
