Significant video on importance of wind power - well done
2. Wind Turbine
What I liked most about this video is that while I've seen hundreds of wind turbines (we have wind turbine farms out here in California), I've never seen a turbine lying horizontally. A very cool perspective. Information was excellent and inspiring!

It is great to see the 2 that are visible in the Portsmouth landscape!

excellent video...demonstrating that the changes we need to keep the country great need to come from local efforts. Big government has been 'talking' about this for years!

It was great to see the new wind turbine up when I came up to campus recently. Wind power has been used for centuries to do all kinds of tasks, and the technology is there to make it happen. Great presentation and way to go Portsmouth!

Great job on displaying information and technology on the wind turbine in Portsmouth, RI. This is truly a vision for the future ... and ... it is beautiful. It creates awareness at every level. Nice job.

I like the end comment, if everyone in the world did their part to offset their carbon footprint, the world would be much better off. And this wind turbine project will be profitable in the first year... what's not to like!
