Air-X & noise levels [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

While we're talking about it I would like to see much more detailed national
wind maps.  Something much better then these generic Class zones that
sometimes cover 50% of any given state.  On several occasions I have wanted
to estimate actual monthly output not just annual output divided by twelve
for average monthly output.

One that note..

Does anyone have any details about the NREL's (or DOE's or whoever's)
anemometer loan program?  I have heard there was program out there where one
of the above mentioned parties would loan a 10m tower and data logging
equipment to any state agency who would provide the land, install and
maintain it.  Does that ring any bells?  I would really like some more info
so I could set one up at the 10kW Excel-S were soon installing.
