                .  WIND ENERGY  .
.   Ultimately all forms of energy were originated from
SOLAR ENERGY.  Wind Energy is no
exception.  When the sun heats the ground, it heats it, which in turn heats air.  As masses
of heated air rise, they cause convection currents that we only experience the bottom side
of in the form of horizontal winds.  

.   Harnessing wind energy is not new.  Sixty years ago my grandparents had one windmill
for pumping water from the ground, and another for running a small DC generator that
charged batteries for running small 12 volt lights at night.

.   Twenty five years ago many farmers in our area, motivated in part by Government
subsidies, installed
WIND CO GENERATION.  While our company never sold or installed
any of these systems, we did help several of our customers evaluate why they were not
saving money with them.  The
American Wind Energy Association has an excellent
informative website.    

You can get a
Bergey 10KW generator installed for about $55,000.00 which you could
expect to save you somewhere near $1,400.00 per year in electricity.   In some states
where the state subsidises 50% and you can get a $4,000.00 Federal tax credit this could
provide you with about a 6%
Return on  Investment.  

.   Today, still driven by Government Subsidies and Mandates, windmills are being
installed for corporate use.  In Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Nebraska, to our
knowledge there are currently no subsidies available for wind energy for small business
or homes.

.   Interestingly enough, most people in our area
use the wind to help them waste
energy
.  Most of us have the problem of having too much energy in our homes and
businesses in the summer.  We use an air conditioner to move this excess energy
outside and then allow the wind to send it up to Nebraska.
