Special Thanks to Nicole Whiteley, for this insightful post, on the use of wind energy in the workplace. I think you will find it interesting and thought provoking.

Wind energy in the workplace

Whole Foods uses it, New Belgium uses it, even Wal-Mart sees the value of wind energy. So, what is holding back the rest of the country?

Miguel Gonzalez, Graduate of the Master’s program, on Sustainable Architecture and Energy Efficiency at BES La Salle, Barcelona, Spain and LEED Green Associate Course with Everblue Training Institute, explained the obstacles of wind energy in the following way:

No one wants to invest in a project that they won’t see a profit even if the investors have a strong sense of environmental integrity.”
