Here is a link to a terrific story done by a National Public Radio correspondent in South Dakota about the impact a wind manufacturing facility is having in Howard, South Dakota.
An excerpt:
"On the edge of town two wind turbines churn against a grey sky. The turbines help power the businesses in Howard, including the Knight and Carver blade plant. Howard is pushing for local energy independence. For community leaders this is about a transformation into a whole new economy, based on green jobs and green energy. The wind isn't going to stop blowing on the Great Plains. In the end energy independence in America might depend on places like Howard, South Dakota."
This is a story that is unfolding all over the United States, and we should be telling it--Americans need to understand the value of wind energy, and see how it is changing people's lives for the better. Listen, and pass it around. |
