Wind Powering America US Government site	In My Backyard (National Renewable Energy Lab) Online software for calculating energy production at specific locations in the US. You type in a street address, and a satellite photo appears. Then, you pinpoint the location of a proposed wind turbine at this address. Next, you specify how many watts the wind turbine will be rated at. The software then tells you the number of kilowatt hours you can expect for each month of the year. To see the results for a turbine located at the college, click here. There's also a discussion about what the results mean.	National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL)
