Windmills for electricity

Murf, you're on target with the "nearly infinite lifespan" comment. With proper maintenance and technology upgrades, some of our aircraft and some ground equipment types in the USAF inventory are in their fifth decade and still performing adequately (if not better). This could be very true of windmills, as they could have phenomenal lifespans.

As with most mechanical devices, operator error and lack of proper maintenance is attributed with failures.

Windmills for electricity

Murf,

I sometimes gather up sawdust and bark droppings from the cutting area and put it in paper grocery sacks. Simply stuff one in the firebox and light it...no mess. It's a good way to get rid of it and start fires too.
