Finding Alternative Fuel in the Wind

Workers with Earth Positive Energy install 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. The installers are Earth Positive Energy out of Paris, Kentucky. From left are DAVE DRURY, JOHN JONES, and STEVE THORNTON. Photo by David Stephenson
