As the U.S. midterm election grow nearer, the two political parties are desperate to find their central narrative.  Coming down to the wire, it looks like this:

They are hunkering down on the idea that Trump is the only thing separating us from the communism of China and the former USSR.

Sadly for the GOP, the vast majority are more concerned that our nation is on the brink of losing its democracy to fascism.  We want the sociopath out of office.

The turbine presented here has blades that are 0.5 meters in length, and that the average home requires 1.2 KW.

When we plug this into this wind power calculator, we learn that we’ll need an average wind speed of 37 mph.

Since the average wind speed in Germany is 11 mph and power is proportionate to the cube of the wind speed, the average German will need 38 of these to power his house.
