Maui Electric puts up a Vertical Wind Turbine

Monday morning upon arriving early to work, I found that all the equipment I thought was being unloaded to put up a gate on Friday, turned out to be for something else entirely.

As it turns out Maui Electric had a Vertical Wind Turbine with two vehicle chargers installed rigt in the front of their Main Office Building in Kahului on Maui.

It was still early and the sun was just rising. so the pictures are a bit light, but the wind was blowing and I heard it ran pretty fast over the weekend. I will still need to get more info on it, but it looks to be a Mariah WindSpire 1.2 Vertical Wind Turbine.

It ran quietly in the early morning breeze. I hope to have more video up on it later. For now, her is a picture or two.

Hot & Humid on Maui

With most of my chores done and some running of errands out of the way, I can't help but wish it would rain.
The weather guessers keep calling for like 80% rain and except for some mercy of high clouds, it's still awfully muggy and hot downtown in central Maui.
Should be on top of more work but find it hard to get motivated in this heat.
It's a shame to live on an island surrounded by beaches when you would rather live in the mountains.
Being raised here and seeing, as well as doing most things doesn't help.
Don't for get that my great Energy Book (CD) Give Away ends tomorrow and then someone will get a brand new unwrapped copy of it at no charge. I'll even send it out at my cost!
Not many offers like that. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen one where they didn't make you at least pay the postage. This is the link http://bit.ly/pshPl sign in now!
