Still, don't assume anything about wind speed. A small difference in
average speed or consistency equals a much bigger difference in
production. In our area, everybody loves to bitch about the wind. Some
people move away because they can't stand the blowing. It seems
omnipresent until you put up a turbine. :-)

Reminds me of the year I bought my first sailboat.
"The Windless summer"

Seems we bought our boats the same years......sigh


"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
