You are invited by Windustry and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Wind Powering America initiative to attend a webinar examining the Cashton Greens Project, a recently installed Wisconsin community wind project built by project partners Gundersen Health System and Organic Valley Cooperative.
After ten years the Community Wind South project in Nobles County, Minnesota is now up. It is the first wind project in Minnesota where the turbines are on 100-meter towers.
Windustry's work to assist in starting up community wind projects in Montana, Wisconsin and West Virginia will continue well into 2013, thanks to an extension of the grant funding this work approved by the USDA.
The Sand Creek Winds project in northeastern Montana is farthest along, as this group of landowners cooperates very well internally, and the wind resource is very good. Their business has hired a staff person, and has also successfully applied for a queue position with WAPA, the regional transmission organization.
During the 2012 presidential election, not a single mention of climate change was made by either candidate. But in his victory speech in the early morning hours of November 7, President Obama was clear: “We want our children to live in an America that isn't…threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.” Now is the time to move on this issue. Now or never. Windustry pledges to do its part to advance clean energy and to help slow the warming of our planet. Your donation to Windustry today will help fund our current activities, such as:
Minneapolis, September 6, 2012—The 2012 Minnesota State Fair was a tremendous success, attracting nearly 1.8 million visitors from all over the country. An estimated 260,000 fairgoers toured the Eco Experience exhibition, many of whom stopped into the Wind Energy Center. Our guests came with many questions about wind energy and our team of knowledgeable volunteers was ready with answers.
