I'M A BIG FAN

Wind power has been used as long as humans have put sails into the wind. For more than two millennia wind-powered machines have ground grain and pumped water.
During our travels across Germany, I noticed that the landscape had windmills scattered throughout. The country is proactive of the Green movement and have been for many years. While talking to a German gentleman at the Golden Leaf Hotel in Stuttgart, he explained that the windmills and solar power combined  
 make up about 17% of the energy used. In my opinion, harnessing the natural elements seems to be a highly efficient system.

  1. "While talking to a German gentleman at the Golden Leaf Hotel in Stuttgart" is almost as great as The Caldwell's phrasing about the gingerbread cookies.
