With apologies to Bob Dylan wind power is what is happening now. Think about and ask your representives about renewable, inexhaustible and inexpensive energy.  Wind power is a clean, renewable resource for energy. The utility companies are now catching on to what the public has been demanding for some time. Thru legislation utilty companies are hearing the public demands for this type product.

 Why should you choose wind?

• Wind energy is a free, inexhaustible renewable resource.
• Wind energy is a source of clean, non-polluting electricity. A single utility-scale (750 kW) wind turbine can prevent the emission of 5000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere each year. It would take 500 acres of forest to absorb that much CO2.
  
• California wind plants effectively save the energy equivalent of 4.8 million barrels of oil per year.
  
• Wind power plants can help increase our nation's energy security. They are modular and can be constructed more quickly than conventional energy plants to meet emergency energy needs. Also, the energy they produce displaces imported fuels.
  
• Wind energy provides more jobs per dollar invested than any other energy technology.
  
• Wind energy can provide additional income for ranchers and farmers.
• Wind power plants increase property tax revenues for local communities

From Wikipedia- 'Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into more useful forms, usually electricity using wind turbines. In 2005, worldwide capacity of wind-powered generators was 58,982 megawatts; although it currently produces less than 1% of world-wide electricity use, it accounts for 23% of electricity use in Denmark, 6% in Germany and approximately 8% in Spain. Globally, wind power generation more than quadrupled between 1999 and 2005.
