On my two trips out there one had a mild breeze (probably 3 m.p.h.) and the second trip over two days was very windy...easily 17 m.p.h.. I talked to Geoff about the wind conditions and he said it blows a decent amount out there. I saw one ranch that had a wind mill. Next time I'm out there I'm going to stop in and see what kind of success they have with power generation. My experience combined with Geoff's comments left me believing there is plenty of wind to generate power. If supplemented with solar panels, I think a small windmill would be a cost effective means of power generation.....something to think about.
