Wind Power Energy - Connecticut Style part 2

I have made contact with the company that will be installing a 200' Wind Turbine on a local farm here in Connecticut.

OPTIWIND is a start up company with an impressive team and product line. Please visit their web site at http://www.optiwind.com/. Its a clean, easy to read introduction to OPTIWIND and their products.

I will be meeting with David Hurwitt, Vice President of Marketing, about some of the issues facing this new company. In yesterday's post I discussed what some of those issues an alternative energy company may face.

My first impression of Mr. Hurwitt is that he is very willing to discuss his company, products, and the importance of wind power to our nation's energy policies. Although passive or active solar power can be a part of any sustainable home or commercial building, only harnessing wind will support the sole power needs of an industrial building, school, or large municipal complex with sustainable energy, especially here in the Northeast.

I am looking forward to meeting David this next week and posting our conversation.

  1. If you didn't see this, I thought you'd find it interesting. Although it about China's national commitment, there may be something useful in it for you and your readers.
