NYC Mayor backing off on windmills everywhere

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg advocated windmills atop buildings and bridges in the city.

Now his honor is spinning backwards (pun intended) on the windmill plan.

Nnewspapers mocked the idea with photo illustrations of turbines on the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building.

It is a typical flip-flop for the mayor who is easily swayed by public opinion.

Bloomberg sought to dial back his windmill proposal while speaking to reporters on Wednesday after returning from Las Vegas, where he gave a speech at the National Clean Energy Summit imagining, among other things, harnessing wind power with turbines on bridges and skyscrapers.
