Electricity through Wind

The 10kwh wind generator which sits atop a 120 foot tower located at 3600 feet provides all the energy needed to power Future Generations' international headquarters. Rather than storing our extra electricity in batteries, we use Allegheny Power as our battery. When the wind is not blowing, we pull electricity from the grid. When we are producing more electricity than we need, it feeds back into the grid.
