After leaving Cincinnati, headed for our first stop in Chicago, we found ourselves looking out at hundreds of white structures, upright and interrupting the miles of green fields in front of us. I’m talking about windmills. I was surprised to see so many of them. Typically when I think of windmills, I picture Holland. The United States definitely has a reputation of doing very little in the search for renewable energy sources. So I decided to consult my favorite source of truth (Google), in order to find out a little more about this booming energy source.
The wind turbine was actually first invented for automatic electricity production in Cleveland, OH. A typical wind turbine costs about $3.5 million dollars to install. However, a 10kW machine, which is able to power the average home, costs between $35,000 and $50,000.
