Windustry's blog

As I was researching the transmission grid I came across GE campaign promoting the use of smart grid technology. While the site doesn't really elaborate on what smart grid technology actually entails or the billions of dollars and years it will take to get every home in the U.S. a smart meter and the software to monitor their own electricity usage, it does spark an inquiry: What if more people started using smart meters? What if we were able to add more wind turbine energy to the grid?

“What some are calling the ‘last crop to harvest’ is capturing growing attention from farmers and other landowners in western Minnesota,” wrote Tom Cherveny in the West Central Tribune

The Wedge Co-op, a local cooperative in Minneapolis, MN recently
published an article about community wind from Windustry! If you are
looking for a brief look into wind energy, check out the article here. This article was part of the Wedge's August/September Newsletter.

Let's say you are flat-out opposed to the notion that human activity is warming the climate. Then there's no need to shut down any coal plants, right?

In January 2007, Windustry, along with Twin Cities Public Television and Erika Johnson, released NEW ENERGY, a half-hour documentary that tells the story of how wind, biofuels, and other renewable energy technologies are contributing to the region’s energy security, economic sustainability, and integrity of our natural resources.

We just got word that it's going to be televised again!

It will be on tpt17 (in the Twin Cities) on Saturday, August 30 at 10:30 PM.
