This project first began when I was in the eigth grade. It was my first year in independant study and I had decided that I didn't want to Earth Science, but Oceanography and Environmental Science.

I was truly captivated by the class and even more captivated by wind energy. I began to wonder why we even bother with fossil fuels to power our homes and why we have to pay so much for energy.
