Alternative Energy Sources
Maarten met with R.B. Fitch to talk about the possibility of installing a wind turbine (GreenSky vertical wind turbine, see http://www.greensky-windsystems.com/). R.B. showed some interest in considering the idea. He also showed considerable interest in solar electricity generation for the Inn as well as for future houses in Fearrington.
