In the small town of Rockport with a population of about 1,300 people, we have four wind turbines to cover electricity in the town. Jim Crawford, a natural resource expert at Columbia University of Missouri at Columbia, says, "It is very proud to have done something for the environment in such a countryside." According to a map released by the US Department of Energy, wind resources are concentrated in the northwestern part of Missouri State, indicating that there are several places where development of useful scale can be done.



"We are cultivating" wind "here, compared to other crops, the amount collected in acre is very good and the windmill's wings are watching a cup of coffee It's as easy as getting it, "Crawford said. Also, wind turbines generate something besides clean energy, and the wind farm of Missouri has annual income of over $ 1.1 million as a property tax from the Wind Capital Group headquartered in St. Louis. According to Mr. Jerry Baker, a professor at the University of Missouri, it is very unusual that the taxable income in the countryside is increasing so much.
