Windustry

Minnesota is among the nation's leaders in wind energy production. High-tech wind turbines are springing up across the Minnesota countryside, producing electricity for farmers and for commercial sale. As we drove along Interstate 90 today we watched as new lines were being strung to conduct the power from the wind turbines to the power grid. Farmers say it is a better investment for them than growing corn. I say it is a good investment for all of us.
