Book Description:

It may sound simple. Fashion a set of blades, attach them to a generator, set the machine on top of a tower, and let the wind do the work of creating electricity. Not so. Most of these attempts fail. Christopher Gillis examines the efforts to develop 'small' wind generators for use at homes, farms, and ranches following the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo.
