"Studies from around the world show that the Great Plains States are home to the greatest wind energy potential in the world — by far.

The Department of Energy reports that 20% of America's electricity can come from wind. North Dakota alone has the potential to provide power for more than a quarter of the country.

Today's wind turbines stand up to 410 feet tall, with blades that stretch 148 feet in length. The blades collect the wind's kinetic energy. In one year, a 3-megawatt wind turbine produces as much energy as 12,000 barrels of imported oil."

There's A LOT each one of us can do. For instance, I'm going to do more research and write articles about wind power. Whatever skills you have, you can use. And if you'd rather just join without doing anything further, that's great too. It's worth checking out!
