Wind Energy Basics
Over on Curled Up with a Good Book (for which I frequently write reviews) is a good review of Wind Energy Basics by Paul Gipe. The review is by Deborah Adams, who writes:
in a plain-spoken style, Wind Energy Basics spells out the pertinent facts without any effort to sell readers on a system that, while environmentally friendly, may not be the ideal power source for a particular individual or community. Gipe includes a thoughtful and eminently practical chapter on the technology of wind turbines, complete with a warning about scams, frauds, and flakes. Gipe is even so upfront that he lists specific brands of wind power generators to avoid.
