We went to
the Windspiration celebration on April 20. I got to see Governor
Granholm. She winked at me! I got to see one of the first
Windspiration things. I had fun we got to see where they are made.
It wasn't very fun at first because of the rain. I just can't
believe our governor winked at me!

On Monday we
went to Manistee to see the governor give a speech on the new Wind Spire
technology. Its a new why to use electricity without polluting. When
she was done talking we got to see them put up the first of many Wind
Spires. The cool thing is that I can see it from my house. When they
were done putting it up we got to have a tour of how it works. It was
awesome there was a ROBOT! That puts the base together but just about
everything else is manually put together. I had a lot of fun learning
about the new Wind Spire. ~Hunter E. |

I really
liked the field to Manistee to see the new wind power thing. I
really liked seeing Governor Granholm. After she gave us a speech we
got a peace of cake and then we got to go on a tour of the place.
There are a lot of robots there. I though it was really fun. ~Lacee

We
went on a field trip to see a wind spire. It was really cool when
they showed us the inside of the factory. In side there was a
machine that was working by a computer. We saw the governor of
Michigan there. She said a speech of the wind spire industry. At the
end they let us have some cake. It was a really fun field trip.

Michael Harroun of Angel Wind
Energy out of central Illinois said the unique design of the product
contributes to its early popularity. "They're designed totally
different,” Harroun said of the Windspire, which measures 30-feet tall
and 2-feet in diameter. “They're not ugly. A lot of people like them
because they look like art. Actually, most people don't even know
they're turbines. They just think it’s something pretty like a yard
ornament.” |
