Construction begins on new Michigan wind power farm
By MB-BigB | July 16, 2008
Construction of a new wind farm in the Ubly area of Michigan has begun. Â The wind farm, which is being built by Nobel Environmental Power and RMT WindConnect, will consist of 46 GE wind turbines in Bingham and Sheridan townships, and will generate 1.5 megawatts of wind power - enough for about 23,000 homes. Â The new windfarm is near a 32 turbine wind farm that was built last year by John Deere Wind Energy.
The turbines will be placed on farmland and the farmers will receive a portion of the profits from the wind power.

Wind farms are a good idea, but often the electrical grid is stressed handing the load. A much considered use for that electricity are water electrolyzers to produce hydrogen which can then be used as is, of made into Syngas or methane form existing carbon sources like CO2 or carbon from waste.
I am Robert Dopp of DoppStein Enterprises Inc. (www.doppstein.com) and am working in water electrolysis for the production of hydrogen. There is very little real data in the Internet regarding electrolysis, so my Whitepaper should add some much needed detail to your knowledge base. This Whitepaper is a distillation from my paper I gave to the National Hydrogen Association in March of 2007.
As an overview: I invented an electrochemical fluidized bed reactor, which electrolyzed water at very high rates and very high efficiencies. I am in the process of developing full and multi-cell units. Below is a link to the whitepaper.
