Thanks to the open space in Texas, it has been chosen as one of the top spots to start construction for the next huge wind farm in the United States. In a desperate race to wing people off the need for non renewable resources fast, the government has been looking for perfect places to build wind farms. The dream is, by 2030, that wind power will make up over 20% of the nations energy. This is a big increase from the 0.8% that it makes up now. This would be one of the largest increases in the United States’ history of switching from non renewable resources to renewable resources.

In the United States, the Ground Zero site (or the spot where the World Trade Centers use to stand) is looking at more construction delays. After 9/11 the city was hurried to start a new project in that area. However, with more delays in sight and budget far overrun, it is looking like the owner of the site is never going to get something rebuilt there. In fact, he announced to the press a while back that the rebuilding schedule that had been set and the cost that was estimated to do it was not realistic. It’s looking like construction work could be a long ways off for this once beautiful site.

The world’s longest bridge is now underway. The construction of this bridge is being handled by a Pairs based company and a German based company. This is a bride that is going to lead from Qatar all the way to Bahrain. This is going to be a bridge that costs over $3 billion dollars to make. The bridge is going to be over 40 km long, and have two lanes. The construction of this bridge is said to only take about 51 months to complete. This new construction is going to make the travel time from Qatar to Bahrain much faster.

A lot of people think that the decline in construction is just hurting the construction companies. However, what some people fail to see is that all the companies that supply things to the construction companies are seeing a huge decline in sales as well. Lumber yards, steel mills, and things like that are not having the same kind of sales that they use to have. This is putting a big strain on the workers that work for these companies. If sales do not increase soon, you could see a lot of people out of a job, and that is not anything that we want to see.
