Renewable Energy Day 2

Today was a great day spent learning about wind turbines on one of New Hampshire's two major wind farms. We followed wind technician Ken and went inside of the wind turbines at the Lempster Wind Farm. He also showed us the safety tools they wear when working on the turbine and walked us through their computerized technology. They seemed small when we were far away, but it is super tall and people can stand on the top of it too. After that, we went to Concord and had a wonderful lunch. We also visited the Concord Co-Op and researched sustainable and renewable food sources. We will use these tomorrow when we look at our carbon footprint and the role that food plays.
