RE: Wind Generators

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks, it wasn't till Phil said 90 watts is a bit bigger than the average
light bulb that I realised how small it is!

It was just that I thought not only about the environment but also my
interest in renewable energy as in solar energy as well.

I don't think the server uses a lot of power anyway, its not until you add
the rest of the hardware into the equation.

Thanks anyway, just a thought.
