Hello everyone!

This brings up a subject near and dear to my heart. Does anyone out there
have a windmill hooked up to generate electricity for both firings and
household use? According to the research I've done, I doubt it would suffice
for the whole thing, but I'm curious to find out how much of a help it would
be.

I'm still renting (read "at the mercy of my landlord's whims regarding kiln
operation"), but will be buying property within the next two years. If wind
power is a viable energy option, that will have a major voice in the
selection process. Of all the renewable, clean sources of energy, wind has
always made the most sense to me.

Thanks for any insight,

Susan Benson
