alternative energy

Went to Holbrook Az to a wind farm. Interesting trip and some info to pass on. Saw a bald eagle (cool) and a grey wolf (cooler) as I was driving along. Wind farm south of Holbrook. Blades are 130 feet long. SRP will be buying the wind generated megawatts. However, when they need the power most - in the hot summer - the wind doesn't blow (go figure). Plans are to expand the operation to include solar panels and more windmills. On the way back through Apache country found a radio station that was broadcasting in the Apache language. Found out that the word 'homeowner' has no real translation in that language. (way cool)
