Wetter climates may use Horizontal axis turbines with greater efficiency. Also a combination of energy production and storage means could do good things for our manufacturing economy. Pnuematic post hole diggers and hand tools as well as hydrogen production should be welcomed on any farm as well as electricity production for grid credits. SA12
