...wind is gaining force around the world, the opposition is making gains as well.

He says he is prepared to spend an additional $30 million to $40 million to get elected, aiming especially at Pataki's support in the more conservative upstate counties. In addition to slashing spending to avoid a state budget collapse (a $10 billion deficit is projected...
