The Size of A Project Does Not Matter
Over the weekend I received an email from one of the readers that frequently visits TheEnergyState.com. One might question, “Well this is a website there should be emails coming from the people who visit this site. What makes this one any more special than the others?” And in a way you would be right. This is a website and we often do receive feedback from our visitors. However with this said, this email really stood out from the others that have been received over the past month, and this is why it is of importance to share with the rest of the reader base here.
The reader who I will address as ‘Bob’, sent some very useful comments to us. In Bob’s email he first started off by stating how he liked what was found on this site, and how these renewable energy projects are of utmost importance to share with everyone. Bob also stated that size doesn’t matter in terms of these projects, as every little step counts.
I couldn’t agree any more with Bob. I have the tendency on this website to publish the larger scale alternative energy projects that often have the media’s attention. One cannot forget about the importance of smaller scale projects that are often forgot about. It is these projects that often get the snowball rolling. One good example that comes to mind with me is the Hull Massachusetts wind turbines. This small coastal town, which is just South of Boston, began producing power from a single wind turbine in the 1980’s. This turbine was used for over a decade until it was severely damaged. The turbine was then replaced in late 2001 by a much larger wind turbine. Just a few years later the town constructed another wind turbine, to add its total to two.
Like Bob stated, size does not matter for alternative energy projects. A lot can be learned from projects of all sizes and like described above, the Hull Massachusetts wind turbines are a great example of the successes and potentiality that wind energy has in this country.
