Umbra Fisk on Micro-Wind

by Michael Graham Richard, Gatineau, Canada on 07.22.05
Science & Technology (alternative energy)

microwind-01.jpgThis week, Grist magazine's always helpful Umbra Fisk answers reader mail about micro-wind. Since the reader is Canadian, she recommends the small-wind calculator, a website that allows you to check the wind potential wherever you are in Canada by entering your postal code. She also recommends the WindShare Cooperative in Toronto, which seems like quite a nice project. Canadians living in Toroton and interested in investing in wind-energy should have a look – see our Green Investments post. Mrs. Fisk then continues with more tips and recommendations. Read it for yourself.
