Free Electricity!

This is a picture of a neighbors home a few blocks away.  Of course, our "blocks" are one mile long.   A wind mill this big can provide more than enough power to keep the pond aerated (Helps keep the water clean and perfect for stocking with fish).  It also can power the house and barn as well.  Just imagine what it would be like to actually sell power back to the electric company!  Ohio may not have the sunniest weather in the country, but out here on the farm, the wind has little to slow it down.  Many people are using both the sun and the wind to generate hot water and electricity.  Although I doubt you'd ever see wind mills used in the city much, as more and more people do, the cost of installing such systems will go down.  Less pollution is not only good for people, but it really helps the crops as well.
