Wind Power
Growing up in Kansas and now, living in Arizona, I have lived with wind. Wind like fire and water is an element to be dealt with. We are still learning how to harnes the wind as we have fire and water and it is proving to serve us well. Wind is solar energy and as such is clean, affordable, domestic and inexhaustible; it just isn’t always dependable. Aided by government incentives, the current trend of windmill farms is growing. This harnesed power then needs to be converted to electricity to be used. How this takes place is explained in depth on the most informative site that I found; the US Dept of Energy site at www.eere.energy.gov/wind/ I do think that we could perhaps come up with means to capture the wind other than the large monstrosities but, for now they may have to do and do well. There are a number of Companies who have pledged to use only wind power to sustain their business, among them is Silksoy milk. My daughter who is lactose intolerent, brought this to my attention. This company has pledged to go carbon neutral and do so using wind power. If you want to know how you too can go carbon neutral by buying wind credits, you will find links to this information and much more. Check them out at http://www.silksoymilk.com/Abo……Award.aspx
