Number Eighteeen

This is a story in multiple parts. We created the video at the time of the installation of a wind tower in Kittery, Maine. And we are posting it at the time of the announced removal of the same tower. Apparently the install did not produce power at the rate desired or needed. It points to the fact that we need real energy, not just the promise of it. The US had been dubbed as “The Saudi Arabia of wind.” No doubt some visionary Arabs have dropped a proverbial well to find lots of sand. Isn’t that one of Lawrence of Arabia’s lessons? There’s great promise in the wind, but that doesn’t mean we simply raise a tower. Solutions mean they work.

Here’s where we began.



And here’s a recent article in the local paper.
