Saint Paul Island (Alaska) - Wind Power

Wind Power

TDX Power's first energy generation facility was built on St. Paul Island. Completed in 1999, the wind energy based electric and thermal cogeneration facility was widely regarded as the more technologically advanced wind energy power projects in America. The TDX Power wind/diesel hybrid facility is known for its efficiency and reduction in diesel fuel consumption. The 120-foot (37 m)-tall turbine is a major point of pride for the ecologically conscious Aleut community of Saint Paul.

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or power:

    But not luck
    brought us here. By design
    clear air and cold wind polish
    the river lights, by design
    we are to live now in a new place.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    We have no higher life that is really apart from other people. It is by imagining them that our personality is built up; to be without the power of imagining them is to be a low-grade idiot.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
