Mr. Bergey: Bergey WindPower is a manufacturer of small wind turbines that are used for distributed generation applications, in other words, for homeowners, farmers and small businesses to reduce their utility bills. They're also used for places that do not have utility service, off-grid applications, like remote homes and communications facilities here in the US and village electrification in developing countries. I should point out that there's a big distinction between the market that we're in for small wind turbines and the much larger business and market for the large wind turbines and the commercial wind farm facilities. Those are our brethren, but that's a completely different business.
TWST: You've been in the news lately. First of all, I want to
congratulate you again for winning the 2002 Wind Power Pioneer Award.
I've also noticed that you've installed two turbines, one at the
National Building Museum in Washington and also in Afghanistan. Could
you tell us little more about that?
Mr. Bergey: We just finished the exhibit in Washington. We were part of
a sustainable architecture exhibit at the National Building Museum.
There were a lot of famous architects, who created drawings, models and
concepts for the exhibit. The museum used our wind turbines as a sort of
gateway exhibit that they could put up outdoors to give a little
visibility to the green architecture show that they had. That show ran
from January of this year through the end of June and it's now over. The
turbine that was there at the Building Museum in Washington is now
slated to go on a demo project near the Pentagon.
