Quotes of Note

The possibility of eventually going further and deeper will be enhanced by the experience that will be gained with the turbines in Nantucket Sound....It is prudent that the first projects be relatively close to shore, and in relatively shallow water before moving further out. Nantucket Sound is a good place to begin.

-- Dr. James F. Manwell, Director, Renewable Energy Research Laboratory, UMass

 		Windscapes: American Vistas Where Energy Is in the Air
Sunday, July 19, 2009
Infinite power from the wind is an American dream almost as old as the country itself, an idea that has entranced generations of scientists, artists and visionaries. In the early 19th century, when most labor was still done by human hands, an immigrant inventor named John Adolphus Etzler, pondering the windmills of his native Europe, sat down to scribble out some calculations. When he finished, he declared that wind power could be harnessed to liberate mankind from toil, providing as much energy as 40 trillion workers, or about 40,000 times earth’s population at that time. Imagine the glorious — and languorous — future that awaited!
