Profile:
On
September 1, 2004, the newest member of the Co-op raised her turbine on
to a 120 foot tower on her farmland in Klickitat County. Known as Seattle’s
“godmother of good bread,” Gwen Bassetti founded one of the
Northwest’s best known bakeries, Grand Central Baking Company, in
1972.
As a resident and community member of Goldendale for 25 years, Gwen’s
interest in the potential for clean renewable energy generation was spurred
when she witnessed Co-op president Ed Kennell’s own 10 kW turbine
go up within view of her farmland.
