Folks - Don't think someone just recently invented that Camels ad - I have a copy of the very first issue of Life Magazine, and on the back cover is a full-page ad touting the digestive benefits of "relaxing with a Camel" before, during (twice!), an…
To Leola Ballweber in Woodstock - I assume you are familiar with Dr. Nina Perpont's "Wind Turbine Syndrome" book and website. Also you will want to get Dr.Malcolm Swinbank's article about his work at NASA-Langley Wind (Turbine Noise Research) which…
On January 11, on the UMPI website on their windmill, nothing new has been posted since November 2008,
I just checked it again today (Feb 2, 2010) - and still there is nothing new. Just the same old press releases, photos of construction, and promis…
UMPI president Donald Zillman has been busy blogging in Copenhagen. http://blog.oup.com/2009/12/copenhagen-zillman/ Perhaps this heavy involvement with Global Warming explains why UMPI hasn't published any data collected at its turbine:
"In today’s…

Sharing Our Experiences - http://www.umpi.edu/wind/project/experiences
University officials have promised to be very public about the project, sharing everything they have learned as part of this pioneering venture with others…
Hello everybody - I have been monitoring UMPI's windmill internet website for weeks., hoping for the information that was so lavishly promised in the publicity that preceeded its construction.

Another month gone by, and nothing new on theUMPI Windwebsite
On January 11, on the UMPI website on their windmill, nothing new has been posted since November 2008,
I just checked it again today (Feb 2, 2010) - and still there is nothing new. Just the same old press releases, photos of construction, and promises, promises, promises. What happened to the intention to "share all information" on the windmill with the students, faculty, and the public?
A question for the Admainistration: Why not post some public information on the ACTUAL OUTPUT? Surely you now… Continue
