Wind Energy Corner

One of the activities our kids did while traveling by car was to count the number of windmills on the trip. These had to be "genuine" Monitor windmills made in Evansville. They did do some research to know the things to look for. Yes, this is still your assignment to be completed in the yearly essay, " What I did last summer."

However, the new assignment is to count the "new windmills". These are the new wind turbines of the future. Some are located in Wisconsin, near Montfort. Another is located in Minnesota on Hwy 19 near Northfield, Mn. The size of this one would just about handle all of Evansville's needs. Check it out.

The Evansville Energy Initiative is a group in Evansville that is examining the applications of new Energy technologies for the benefit of Evansville. One of its first projects is the new solar heated swimming pool being constructed. I hope to have a member of this Initiative share some of their ideas in the Evansville Observer over the coming months.
