You see them everywhere in the Great West, wind farms and the slowly turning, oversized –blades, spinning around and around, in the pursuit of renewable energy gains. In California, New Mexico, Arizona, and a few other Western states, the amount of wind farms seen all over these localities, are increasing.
As the regions of the United States, which have large and virtually unrestricted, access to wind-swept acres continue to build turbine after turbine, the push to replace fossil fuel is paramount in this region. Does this mean that there is no wind anywhere else in the United States or that other regions are not tapping into this great source of renewable, very green, energy? Not hardly, as almost every state in the union has at least a fraction of the gross energy production, stemming from the wind. It is only that the West is known for windy days and an all-year long access to one of Mother Nature’s greatest gifts, moving air.
