Paul Gipe who is considered an expert in the wind power biz wrote a really great
review about my Green Guru Guide book _[Build Your Own Small Wind Power System](https://greenlivingguy.com/2013/01/build-your-own-small-wind-power-system-a-review-2/).
_As some of you might know it was written by a small wind systems and turbine dealer,
Kevin Shea, and journalist, Brian Clark Howard.  He co-authored the book Green Lighting
with Bill Brinsky and I.

As Paul starts off he says:

Small Wind Power System

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be forewarned, this is a big book. It’s a modern book. It uses all the techniques
necessary to keep modern readers attentive: sidebars, bullet points, and copious
illustrations.

#### He adds:

_There has been a slew of new books in the past few years on small wind. So many
it has been hard to keep up with them all-and admittedly I am not keeping up. (I
have had this book on the shelf for at least six months.) Some are by pros, such
as Ian __Woofenden, and some are by professional writers, such as Dan Chiras. This
is one of the first by both._
