Adirondack Green is a novel that tells the story of a small American town that decides, after much debate, to put a wind turbine on top of the local ski mountain. This one Danish wind turbine is able to power the entire town: homes, stores, schools, medical center, nursing home, and even the ski lift. Excess power is sold to the New York Grid; when the wind fades, power is bought from the grid. The class of 2004, consisting of 32 high school seniors, learn on the first day of school in September, that they must contribute 100 hours of community service in order to graduate in June. The story follows five of these seniors, who are assigned to help five older members of their community. Together, they build five extraordinary friendships and move their little town toward a global renaissance. Read Less
