ABUNDANT PURE WATER     FREE RANGE HYDROGEN    INTEGRATED GREENHOUSES

The "Flying Dutchman" rollercoaster at Dorney Park, was powered by a 225 kW wind turbine in 1979.

THE WINDJAMMER 475—billed "the most powerful private wind turbine now operating in the United States"—is a prime attraction at the 150-acre Dorney Amusement Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania. This 101-foot-tall generator—with four 75-foot blades—has a maximum power output of 225,000 watts ... enough to handle an estimated 10-15% of the park's total electric needs! School groups visit the site for free lectures on alternative energy, and plans are underway to use the big turbine to power pumps ... which will supply the park's extra water needs during the summer months.

Victoria Peters and Robert Plarr at the dedication of the new "Hercules" rollercoaster at Dorney Park.Renewable energy pioneer Robert Plarr, Executive Vice President of the world famous Dorney Park, contracted Terry Mehrkam of the Mehrkam Wind Development Company in Hamburg, PA, to erect a gigantic low-wind-speed turbine to power the park's rollercoasters.  He also installed another of Mehrkam's wind turbines at his highly acclaimed underground, low-energy luxury home bordering Dorney Park. Robert and Victoria would later build the Angel's Nest in Taos.

In 2005, Robert Plarr and Victoria Peters received the world's first privately purchased, free range organic hydrogen fueling station - to be powered by renewable solar and wind from the rooftop of their spectacular Angel's Nest in Taos, New Mexico.  The building purifies its drinking water, recycles its waste water, harvests water from rainfall, generates its own energy, grows its own food, and creates a living   environment that promotes health and vitality.
