windmill

Modern usage of windmills to produce electricity was brought about mostly because of the oil crisis of 1973. As with solar power, the U.S. government gave large tax breaks to investors who funded windmill research and farms. Research departments of several companies took advantage of the tax credits and made huge progress in a short amount of time. Although they faced difficulty with durability early on they now feel that such problems have now been solved. Unfortunately in 1983 some large investors decided to set up large windmill farms using cheap windmills that ran at very disappointing rates. Today the technology is being revisited with hopefully better results than in the past.

The world is filled with positive energy and technology. Enjoy the blog...
