A U.S. grid operator in the region briefly generated more than 65% of its power from wind turbines last April. Wind whipping across the Great Plains can generate a lot of electricity. But transporting that electricity from remote areas to cities and towns can be a big task. “It’s not something that can be solved … Continue reading Wind energy is on the rise in the Great Plains
