This is wonderful. I know a wind energy enthusiast named Malcolm Brown, who had a huge part in the Hull windmills, which are a couple Megawatts.<div><br></div><div>I have asked him if he knows what a small wind turbine, perhaps on a 10 foot mast, would cost.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In Nepal, i worked with a group who installed a small wind turbine alongside solar panels to power wireless repeaters on a mountaintop. Some small turbines with 1 meter blades can generate substantial power.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I still hope we can get one more solar panel, as well, to put on the right side of main stage, and perhaps paste some reflective mylar to the building as well, to reflect more light onto it.</div><div>

<br>
I am the administrator for the "Wind Turbines for #OccupyBoston" on <a href="http://wepay.com" target="_blank">wepay.com</a> (<a href="https://www.wepay.com/donate/obturbine" target="_blank">https://www.wepay.com/donate/obturbine</a>).<br>
<br>
The fund is now at $813.80.<br>
<br>
We're getting close to the $844 we set as a target for our first turbine, but I don't know if that's truly a viable price.<br>
<br>
I'd like to turn this money over to the group to decide how to spend it, and if we should start planning for spending these funds appropriately.<br>
<br>
This fund was specifically for "wind turbines", so we should discuss how to proceed.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
