Wind Power and the 1940s Federal Wind Turbine
A reminiscence recalls the Federal Power Commission wind energy work in the 1940s led by Percy H. Thomas, including a 1000 kilowatt turbine at Grandpa's Knob Vermont. It suggested 10000 kilowatts possible, noting wind energy is free, widespread, simple to install, and pollution free. The piece links past insight to today’s energy crisis and nostalgic regard for wind’s forgotten role.
