Am wondering how much kWh it can produce, and also its TCO.What's always not so interesting about green energy technology is that the TCO costs more with lower kWh. :/ Interesting.

Are they any uglier than the facade of the building itself? Uglier than the cruddy low-grade landscaping most businesses have? Uglier than the parking lot?I just don\'t think the \"ugly\" complaint is warranted in a world where efficiency and accountability are taking seed, especially when there are much uglier things about most buildings to complain about.

When one doesn\'t \"see\" where the energy comes from, one can easily ignore it; this project helps eliminate that disconnect.

How can i learn more about international windturbine use, both big and small? i am 65 and mostly homebound now i see the pres as "Don Quoxte" meeting his fate at thehands of a working persons windmill. I look forward to hearing more about your wour work and have many ? thank you again for what you are doing> dennis Walker an unreconstructured 60's dreamer thank you for a wonderful website.
