I consult with rural and semi-rural property owners on installing utility-sized wind farms (>1 MW) on their property. Your income will be greater if you own a plant turbine than if you lease your land to a developer or a utilty.

Wind generated electricity can provide the electric power grid with pollution free electricity and you with yearly income, rents, royalties and/or production tax credits.

I am located in Chicago. It is easy for me to work nationally. I have a western office in Georgetown, Colorado for western ranchers and other property owners. I am also available internationally.

Make an appointment for a consultation to see if it is practical for you to have a utility-sized wind farm on your property.

I will be in Chicago May 5-7 to attend WindPower 2009. We can meet at the Conference or at my Chicago office.
