Book excerpt: "Wind Energy for the Rest of Us is a sprawling book. It's not just about small wind turbines. It's not just about large wind turbines. It's about the depth and breadth of wind energy, including water-pumping windmills and sailing ships. From how to install small wind turbines safely to how farmers in Indiana can earn millions of dollars in revenue by installing their own multimegawatt wind turbines, it's a book hard to categorize. This suits Paul Gipe. He likes to think he's hard to categorize after four decades in renewable energy. His book tells the story of modern wind energy in all its complexity and introduces electricity rebels for the first time-- the trailblazers who have launched a renewable energy revolution by taking power into their own hands."--
