Why Wind?

World wind electric generating capacity, grew at nearly
. . . 30% per year, over the past decade.
Although a wind farm can cover many square miles,
. . . turbines occupy only 1% of that area.
Ranchers and farmers can, in effect, double-crop their land,
. . . simultaneously harvesting electricity while producing cattle, wheat or corn.
With no investment on their part, farmers and ranchers can receive
. . . $3,000 to $10,000 a year in royalties for each wind turbine on their land.
North Dakota, Kansas, and Texas—have enough harnessable wind energy
. . . to easily satisfy national electricity needs.
Unlike coal, gas, and nuclear power plants,
. . . wind farms do not require water for cooling and no fuel cost.
Construction time for the typical wind farm is one year.
Alternative sources of energy that can last as long as the Earth itself.
