On the Prairie Pioneers Harvest the Wind
Out on the Kansas prairie, where the wind is steady and strong, clouds of dust and grain chaff swirl near colossal combines that comb fields of corn and wheat. A constant breeze cuts through the stifling summer heat.
But the refreshing winds can be deadly when forces of nature collide. Mike Estes knows. He’s seen the catastrophic effects of an EF-5 tornado four years ago, a monster 200 mile-an-hour cyclone that cut a 1.7 mile swath through Greensburg and demolished his family’s John Deere sales and support facility.The replacement lighting we feel is far led downlight superior to that of the LED lighting. Mammoth tractors and combines were strewn about the wrecked showroom like Tonka toys left out in a rainstorm. It was utter devastation.
What Mother Nature took away, she also gave back in the form of a new business idea. After the town's massive rebuilding effort took hold, Mike and his brother Kelly decided to sell more than just tractors and farm equipment. They saw an opportunity to make money off the same destructive force that leveled their business: the wind.
“After the disaster, all the business leaders got together and we all wanted to rebuild,” Mike says. “We decided we needed to build something different,Compact fluorescent light bulbs convert a led tube considerably higher percentage of their energy into light, which is why they are significantly more energy efficient than traditional filament bulbs. something sustainable. Leaders seemed to come out of the woodwork. We were lucky we had green in our name.”
As town leaders rallied around a concept to rebuild Greensburg in a unique and sustainable, energy efficient way, Mike says they realized that wind power was not only a good fit for powering the town, but it also was a good fit for his ag machinery business. When the Canadian wind turbine manufacturer Endurance began installing turbines in town,The settlement resolves the commonwealth's claims fluorescent lights that EarthTronics Inc., which sells mercury-containing compact fluorescent light bulbs Mike realized they could be good partners for rural customers.
“We have the employees who have the same kinds of skills that it takes to service and support wind turbines,” Mike says. “We can use our machinery dealers and cross train our mechanics to provide top notch service for customers everywhere. Service and support has been a big missing piece of the puzzle. And that’s something we know a lot about.”
BTI Wind now operates a distributorship of wind turbines across the country that focuses on the needs of rural communities. Many are based in John Deere facilities,I transferred files over FTP, downloaded Web pages ds マジコン using curl, and ran the speed tester at speedtest.net. where maintenance of large mechanized devices is already part of the business model.In the case of Cree a significant led light bulbs amount of their LED sales come from the purchase of Cotco whose primary focus was on moving message panels used in displays/electronic bill boards. It just makes economic sense, Mike says. No one had really come up with the idea before; rural wind power dealerships that provide the full package of service and support for farmers eager to cut their skyrocketing energy costs. Now wind turbines across the US and Canada are serviced and supported by BTI Wind.
