Ok, so- no, it’s not an actual event, but the launch of the concept surely is to us here at All Our Energy.
As a follow up to our previous post Windmade: Change You Select, the European (EWEA) Wind Energy Association are putting forth a new concept: make your event Windmade.
The Windmade concept is an alternative driver to not only create a market for, but to help make available wind-powered electricity. They market to manufacturers who can then label amd market their goods as “Windmade” also letting the public choose to purchase products made with true clean energy (and by rights implying the consumer should consider how other products are made). We really like both ideas.
EWEA is showing how it’s done at their own “EWEA 2012” annual conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. All the electricity used will be purchased and used specifically for the event What better place than the world’s leading country for wind turbine manufacturing, community owned wind projects, and

(We’ll also reference you to wind leader Paul Gipe’s Wind Works

And this awesome children’s book about it
Energy Island: How one community harnessed the wind and changed their world by Allan Drummond
We believe the answer to expanding renewable energy is in getting the public involved and aware of renewable energy and help give them access to it, and this project wins on both fronts.
Just imagine… And let us know:
What else could be Windmade?
