Manitoba’s First Municipal Building, Multiple Wind Turbine Installation
Today in my email I received an interesting news clipping:
Global Wind Group Inc. and the RM of Morris to Unveil Innovative Clean Energy Project in Rosenort, Manitoba
On June 24, 2009, Global Wind Group Inc. will unveil a new vertical axis wind turbine installation at the Morris Municipal Public Service Garage in Rosenort, Manitoba. This is the first municipal building in the province to be equipped with these quiet, cost-effective and durable wind turbines. The turbines will reduce the building’s carbon footprint to next to nothing.
Great power solution for many types of installations - municipalities, farms, cottages, etc. Especially well-suited as renewable energy solution for remote, isolated communities.

It's great to see more renewable energy in any form. Vertical axis wind turbines are a very interesting technology. I just thought I'd post it in case anyone is interested.

Thanks for posting this. My firm helped Global Wind Group organize the event. For the record, Vic Toews couldn't attend. But we still had a great turn out and gained media attention on CTV, CJOB, CBC TV and multiple rural news outlets.
Here's a link to more about the event:
