Given the fact that you can count on one hand the number of other towns in Maine that have a wind turbine ordinance -- if there's any at all, I think it's unrealistic to expect us to get together an ordinance from scratch that covers all the safety issues.
An anonymous donor from the community came to us with a vision for installing a wind turbine to make electricity at the high school. Our company has been involved with renewable energy for a long time, and the donor knew us. She has been interested in renewable energy for a long time, and she wanted to make a difference. I think it's great that she was motivated to make that difference as an educational opportunity for students.
The high school is going to take that money and create a fund which will provide any maintenance that the wind turbine will need for its life, which is estimated at 30 years. It is a very simple, rugged, durable system with very few moving parts that is rated to withstand hurricane winds up to 120 miles per hour.
A law of nature rules that energy cannot be destroyed. You change its form from coal to steam, from steam to power in the turbine, but you do not destroy energy. In the same way, another law governs human activity and rules that honest effort cannot be lo.
In my district back in Texas, significant because we have a big solar panel production plant in Keller, Texas, we have a wind turbine plant in Gainesville, Texas, up in Cook Country.
We are striving to better meet our customers needs. Our research team is focused on designing a new wind turbine that will not only be one of the most powerful in the world, but sets new standards in efficiency, reliability, and cost of energy as well.
Successful localization of hydroelectric equipment in the Three Gorges Project means China has been able to design, manufacture, install and operate on its own 700,000 kilowatt water turbine generator sets,
Honeywell Aerospace continues to expand product offerings for the helicopter industry. Our ability to offer customers avionics systems, turbine engines, and aircraft air and power systems, gives us a wide industry capability as a supplier for both helicopter manufacturers and operators.

Before I put a sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally. In my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and even operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch I can give the measurements of all parts to workmen, and when completed all these parts will fit, just as certainly as though I had made the actual drawings. It is immaterial to me whether I run my machine in my mind or test it in my shop. The inventions I have conceived in this way have always worked. In thirty years there has not been a single exception. My first electric motor, the vacuum wireless light, my turbine engine and many other devices have all been developed in exactly this way.
