Wind Power on Kauai   Message List

Re: [apollokauai] Wind Power on Kauai

Aloha,
 
My understanding is that everything (solar, wind, otec, wave) can compete without subsidies against oil-based electricity if oil is greater than $80/barrel. With wind, the problem is getting landowners to accept them, and accurately measuring the wind speed to find the optimal location. FirstWind and others are exploring sites.
 
UH Manoa's Sustainable Saunders has a very short horizontal wind turbine on its roof. Rooftop wind is and should be installed along side pv and solar water heaters.

So sorry to burst your bubble about rooftop wind. Yet another idea that looks good until you actually do the math-then it becomes a counter-productive waste...
