Finding Alternative Fuel in the Wind

Dave Drury, with Earth Positive Energy, directs a crane as he installs a 10-kilowatt, 140-foot wind turbine for Bill and Eileen Slater on May 27, 2010, on their farm near Pleasant Hill, Kentucky. The wind mill will generate enough electricity, on average, to power all of their needs. Bill Slater, said that a "perfect storm of events", such as the recent coal mining disasters in W. Virginia and Kentucky, the BP Gulf oil spill, and tax rebates made him make the final decision to install the wind turbine. "If there was ever a time, it is now," he said. Photo by David Stephenson
