Michael Rogers, vice president communications for the Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM), has an SBAM Leadership Council profile of Terry Phillips, owner of Arbor Wind Power Turbines. “The world needs green, low cost electricity,” says Phillips. “ArborWind’s patented PT180 Wind Turbine meets these needs, and is an efficient, cost effective source of electricity.

Today, most power is generated at large fossil fuel, nuclear, or hydroelectric power plants. Then it is transmitted over long distances to consumers. But power losses in transmission, and capital costs to connect these plants to the grid, reduce the efficiency advantages of large power plants. But distributed power, where electricity is generated in small local plants can fulfill many needs for today’s commercial users. Our green, cost-effective and efficient wind turbines fulfill this role of the small, distributed power plant.”
