Yes you can. The primary footprint of a windmill is access roads. Especially for the large ones (!MW+), these can be substantial. Windmills are thus often located right next to [established] roadsides.

Thanks for the windpower data. I found a Wind GIS utility here, which I have not drilled into yet:

And one other Nullhof-related link for today (a high tech angle, or is that "big chem"?), personalized energy systems:

I'll start another thread for the biodiesel topic. If we put everyone else to sleep we can take it off-forum :) .

Is anybody still working on Nullhof? What would be the differences between this and already established groups like Open Source Ecology?

Nullhof is still gestating, have been corresponding intermittently (albeit lightly) on it. Hope to post a non-trivial update here in the late Winter / early Spring.
Regarding OSE, I am certainly inspired by their bootstrapping and DIY tech emphasis. I don't think it would do OSE justice to describe differences between it and a proto-embryonic idea encoded in a forum thread. ;-)
