Why isn't that wind turbine at the state Department of Environmental Quality office in Bay City spinning? It's been months since the turbine has generated any electricity, and officials are unsure when it could start up again. According to Kevin King, chief of field operations and facilities section for all DEQ offices across the state, the turbine may have a gear box failure. The DEQ hired the turbine's original manufacturer to climb the tower and take a peek to see what was wrong, but that proved to be unsuccessful.
