We started on the next turbine yesterday in Antrim County this will be our second unit on this side of the state. My father-in-law has wanted a wind turbine since the 70's and now is getting his dream. He told me that back in the 70's these units were going to cost $50,000 at the time. We are installing his for around $16,000. The turbines back in the 70's were only 120 volt systems and not very efficient. Today's units are 120/240 volts and much more efficient than before. I spoke to a retired engineer in the area and he said that the Skystream is out producing more than what the company says they will. So that is from someone that has a unit and is not part of SWWP. So that is great news.
