USA - Northwest Arkansas could soon get energy from wind

Goal is to develop a 150 mega-watt project

Tradewind Energy out of Lenexa, Kansas has leased its first parcels in Northwest Arkansas for a proposed wind farm. According to Aaron Weigel with Tradewind Energy leasing this land is the beginning of a huge project, hopefully resulting in our area getting much of its energy from the wind.

Weigel says the goal is to develop a 150 mega-watt project in that area, then sell that power to a local utility. Weigel says turning the land in Sulphur Springs into a wind farm would be highly beneficial, not only to the local economy, but to the environment.

But how will it work? Weigel offered a simple explanation.

"You can envision it being like a river and what we're doing is we're pushing more water into the river and people are using it," said Weigel

And according to Weigel what energy the wind doesn't produce, will be made up by existing utility companies.

Weigel says if everything goes as planned, they hope to be producing wind energy in Northwest Arkansas within the next few years.
