Wind turbines provide new farm income in Southwestern Minnesota
Wind power is clean, renewable, and unlimited in supply. Community Wind turns consumers into producers, making energy right here in the U.S. Communities are keeping the energy dollars local, providing high quality jobs, creating and retaining wealth that can then be re-invested in the community to grow new business opportunities. When farmers, schools, and businesses develop and own wind projects, that's power by the people, for the people.

Wind power is the only generation technology that can be deployed at scale in time to make a difference in the fight against climate change when global emissions need to peak and begin to decline if we are to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. And, oh yes, it powers my sailboat!

Windy Point / Windy Flats in Klickitat County, WA
By creating more than 150 local jobs for the next two years and hiring nearly 75 percent of its project employees from the local area, Windy Point/Windy Flats has helped bring this local economy back to life after the timber and aluminum industries’ rapid decline about a decade ago.
Now Klickitat County expects property tax revenues of approximately $2 million a year from Windy Point/Windy Flats that will help fund community needs such as libraries, schools, and fire protection services. Moreover, the rent the project will pay local landowners will inject another $2 million a year directly into the local economy for the next 20 years, the expected life of the project. As now planned, the project’s estimated total capital investment in Klickitat County is over $700 million. Any eventual expansion will yield additional community revenue and support.
