With all the tumolt in the world and the growing realisation that continued petroleum use is not tenable it’s exciting to live in a place where research is ongoing into new energy technologies. Not only is there hope for the future of humanity but the survival of the small rural community in which I live looks more likely.

The photos are of our wind turbine which is part of an experiement that is testing battery technology and how you can store the electricity generated from the wind. The power generated by the turbine makes a serious contribution to UMM’s green initiatives.

Personally we signed up to Ottertail’s Tailwinds program for our own electrical supply at home.

Current temperature 70F/21C
