Survivopedia shared seven projects that you may want to consider. “Wind power is one of the most abundant, available and easy-to-use energy sources on earth. People learned to harness wind power in ancient times; just think about windmills and sailboats. They were used throughout our history to accomplish everything from transporting goods to discovering new worlds (think Christopher Columbus). Obviously, things have changed as technology evolved beyond our wildest dreams, but wind power still has many uses, especially when it comes to generating cheap, sustainable power.
