A heresy in North Dakota nowadays: Confessing that wind
farms actually may present problems.
Oh, but a wind turbine is such a
clean, simple, natural-resource-friendly way to produce electricity. And North
Dakota has the greatest wind energy potential in the country by any
calculation.
One estimate is that our state eventually could generate
1,210 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. Each kWh amounts to the
work done by one kilowatt of electricity in one hour. Or, if you prefer, the
potential production would be 300,000 megawatts.
