Mark E. Hanson, Director of Sustainable Services for Appleton- based Hoffman LLC, likes to push boundaries. Since he was recruited to the company nine years ago from his role as executive director of the Energy Center of Wisconsin Inc., Madison, Hanson has pushed for higher Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ratings, better materials and affordable prices. He splits his time between a home office in Madison and the company's headquarters, but when he's in Appleton, he's got plenty of family photos and other mementos to remind him of home. Hoffman designed and built Holy Wisdom Monastery in Middleton, the highest-rated LEED-New Construction building in the nation. Hanson keeps a copy of the project's LEED platinum certificate at his desk as a memento.
Mark Hanson went through two public hearings to get the OK for a small wind turbine perched upon a 60-foot pole six miles west of Fincastle. At first, all of the NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yards) screamed "land value" and other assorted things about why the wind as a green renewable energy was a threat to them on the Planning Commission level. The planners passed it with specifications that a giant wind turbine can't grandfather in on the smaller one. That worked, as Hanson said nary a soul spoke against it at the Board of Supervisors meeting on March 23. The wind turbine was approved.

Of all the people to voice an opinion about a proposed wind farm atop Poor Mountain, Mark Hanson is perhaps the only one with a power-generating turbine in his back yard. Hanson put the windmill there two years ago, and he likes it just fine.
