Signs of the Apocalypse: Poppy Bush to utilize wind at Walker's Point (Maine)
http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.php?id=149555&ac=PHnws

Last week, a 33-foot-tall windmill was installed to generate electricity for the oceanfront home of former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara.

The Bushes decided to buy and install a windmill after being approached by Southwest Windpower, a nationwide company that manufactures wind turbines, said Jim Appleby, personal aide to the former president.

"After looking at the specifications, the pros and the cons, they decided that they'd give it a try," he said.

The wind turbine, a Skystream 3.7 model, is capable of generating electricity once wind speed reaches 8 mph, said Bob Greig, president of All Season Home Improvement Co. in Augusta, which installed the windmill.
