They produce a healthy % of the nation's wind power.

So Georgetown is actually helping its state. (And I suspect got some sort of good deal to do it.)

This is exciting. Wish I could live there, but it's too expensive. It's a retirement community, I think. Knew someone who moved there; she and her husband had a quite cushy retirement account to retire on in comfort.
