Stephan de Clerk looks down the line of 6 windmills that he helped raise with his neighbours. To satisfy zoning regulations, Stephan had to connect with his immediate neighbours and created a co-operative to produce wind energy. The organization, Samen voor de Wind, means that 6 different landowners all own a windmill and are profiting from the wind energy. It has contributed substantially to the financial well being and health of the farming families.
