It is very good that somebody is starting a project with at least 4. I asked Mr Pickens to start a project to light up a small town, no answer. However, at least people are installing at least their very own, I would like to know how to install it safely to my power supply so I could sell the company any excess power generated.

Here is what I could find at the following site.

Clay county would be in the northwesterly part of the Red River Valley.
————————————-
“Within this general area is the Red River valley. The Red River forms much of the boundary between North Dakota and northern Minnesota. This valley slopes downward to the north as the Red River flows northward into Lake Winnipeg. Data from stations near the Red River indicate some channeling effect, with prevailing winds being split between north and south directions. Data from Pembina and Grand Forks indicate annual wind power averages that are near the borderline between class 4 and class 5.”.

This is so cool. I was born and raised in Clay County Minnesota and know the country well.

This is exactly what T. Boone Pickens was talking about. Don’t you know, that if you put the right energy creating resources in the right locations it will be a winner.

You betcha it will The land of the free and the most friendly people in the world.
