Very good question. Certainly our two wind turbines on Haeckel Hill near Whitehorse do contribute to the amount of clean power we produce. The turbines can produce enough electricity to service about 150 homes. We are also looking at other possible locations for new wind turbines. But wind energy presents some challenges for us, since we can only produce electricity when the wind is actually blowing, which isn’t all the time. So we can’t rely on wind as a primary source of energy.

Where’s the wind turbines? With wind power in every community you would probably not have to resort to diesel. I actually think it’s criminal not to have all available technology in use instead of the diesel.
