Wind Turbine Generators

Not long ago I was discussing the use of a new wind generator system, which would be a huge project in a constantly windy canyon and this giant project would span across the entire canyon. The other day he emailed the Online Think Tank to look at this project, we rendered our findings and discussed the reality of the permitting, EIR legality and bureaucracy barriers. Unfortunately, upon hearing this he went ballistic on us. After calming down he profusely apologized, I sent him an email back;

Do not worry about it! One thing I learned in sports; is to channel that energy and save it for the race. Think of it this way. Your entire project has to compete in free-markets and your goal to keep the atmosphere clean is only one criteria. Cheap energy has allowed our Nation to grow strong in economic vitality for generations.

So you must compete in that realm too; Luckily your project and concept can compete against other forms of energy conversion and even with coal-fired plants and clean coal technologies on the way, you can compete dollar for dollar and ROI with the big boys even if all they have to do is upgrade and you have to build from scratch!

Stay tough, if you need a sounding board it is fine to send me those emails. In fact I can use them to debate with you to hone your skills so when the going gets tough you already heard the toughest critics. The goal is to WIN. And believing in what you are doing is a very good thing.

Concentrate on making those deals, meeting the right people, getting the money and strong ROI so you can duplicate this thing 1000 times or more. It is possible. Look how many Power Plants are in the US and the diversity is stunning. Hydro-Solar-Wind-Nuclear-Coal-Methane-Bio Mass.

I mean come on, what did BP say? "Its a Start" good, nice start now pick up the pace because this is a long-race and the finish line is what counts, not the fans spitting on the champions of truth going for their 7th win. See the point. So, with all this said, I want you innovators to consider the total picture and I hope this article propels thought in 2007 in your quest to be the best.
