Live Data Feed on the Turbines

And, for those of you who would like to check my numbers, all of my estimates come from these three sources and the live feed:
Yale Office of Sustainability Article (Published power output of 26 MWhrs/yr)
Micro Wind Turbine Company Website (with price of the turbines)
Cost of Connecticut Electricity (I averaged it to be about $0.10 per kWhr)

Test, test, test, facts and results.
