Missouri Community is First to Be 100% Wind Powered

Rock Port, Missouri, has become the first community in the U.S. to powered entirely by wind. Four 1.25-megawatt wind turbines located on agricultural lands within city limits will generate 16 million kilowatt-hours each year, enough to meet the town's electric needs, currently 13 million kilowatt-hours annually. Excess wind generated electricity will be fed back into the utility grid. A celebration honoring this achievement will be held on Friday, April 18, 2008
