Wind power

There is a lot of talk about wind power here in Iowa recently.
One fella installed a small wind generator that reduced his home electric bill by half.
It cost him 10 grand and he says the payback is about 10 years with the unit lasting 20 years.
There are several that have gone up around here recently but I don't know anyone, personally, who has installed one.
The bluffs above the mississippi seem to be a popular place for them.

You need to move to Casper. Its always windy there. Never seen so many newspapers blowing in the wind. lol
Spent a little time out in the oil patch and then we went sight seeing. NW Wyoming is a beautiful place. Only thing is it takes a long time to get anywhere with nothing but scenery in between.
Bet those old wells are a pumpin away now a days.
have a good one
