Greetings –
I am working on a site optimization project for Own Energy, a company dedicated to promoting and managing community wind projects.
We are trying to increase the profile of the site, and would be grateful if you would be willing to link to our homepage (www.ownenergy.net), or potentially pages you find particularly relevant.
Please let me know your thoughts, I appreciate any comments!
