Windmills:
“Windmills turn out electrical power which operates on a direct current. The problem has been to adapt that direct current to electric utility systems which operate on alternating currents… In Wisconsin and 21 other states, utility companies using these converters, are allowing individuals to feed wind power into their electrical lines. The utility companies give these people wholesale credit for the power they feed into the system and charge them retail for what they take out. The public benefits by harvesting windmill power. The young people got busy and used their heads. Instead of having the public utilities fight them, they cut the utilities in on the action.”
