Maybe Some New Hope??

My husband Steve was at the alleys today waiting for Jake our younger grandson to finish bowling and he had the most interesting conversation with a Dad who was waiting for his son. This man had some ideas that I have been wishing we could use for Holbrook. He works at a company that does environmental and green thngs like solar and wind projects. We have a constant wind at different spots in town, there are tall buildings that we own like Town Hall. He told of new ways that are much smaller and less obtrusive looking that can catch the wind and generate electricity. What if it saved a few thousand dollars a year every year for the forseable future? We have the train which can attract positive thinking people and maybe new types of businesses near it. We should have taken advantage of the rail transit district years ago but it seems Gov Patrick is still thinking of pursuing that idea so maybe we haven't lost out entirely yet. I was just glad to hear that someone was thnking beyond oh woe is me for once. call me crazy but i don't see any advantages to giving up and accepting the same old same old forever. do you?
