Finance trickles, turbines now cheaper

No cloud comes without a silver lining. In this case, you can now actually get your hands on a turbine - IF you can get your hands on some money. Previously you had a long wait.

Since I'm helping shop for one for the high school right about now, although we're still at the analysis stage -- fitting the right turbine to the site and the budget -- this is both good and bad news.

Actually, now I remember, I'm shopping for two. As well as a 75-100KWH one for the high school, I have to get a tiny one too, <1KWH, for the college's Eco-Cottage (a student dorm that runs partly on solar and wind).

Baby wind turbine and momma wind turbine. Where's daddy bear?
