Wind Turbine

Recent advancements in the Highlands Ranch Energy City include finally meeting our mentor, Doug Carter of Invenergy. Last Tuesday Doug met with Jamie and myself and enlightened us on a few basics of wind energy. He gave us websites to further expand our understanding (windpoweramerica.gov and nrgsystems.com) The hurdles that we will be overcoming so far is aquirring the land grant from Shea Homes to allow minors on the property. We will be incontact with Bob Nelson to work these issues out in upcoming episodes. After the legal issues are resolved, the actual aquisistion of the medtower will become our main priority.

The Energy City of Highlands Ranch is becoming a clearer and clearer reality each year with seniors of ThunderRidge High School working to change laws, test fuel cells, and put up energy generating wind turbines. To accomplish the latter, my partner Alex and myself, will be working indirectly with Invenergy Corporation to construct a tower on the Shea Homes property just north of the Highlands Ranch Town Center, to test the spead and direction of the wind in Highlands Ranch. This tower would generate a vast amount of data, 24/7 wind monitoring, to determine if wind generated energy is a possibility in the area. I think I speak for not only myself, but for my partner as well when I say that we can’t wait to get to work and change the world.
