Integrating Wind Turbine Energy   

Wind Energy was used to power ships on the sea before it was used on land for grain grinding and water pumping.  Today, the designs of wind turbines are as varied as its power uses.  Will County has been told that wind is one of our many potential natural resources.  Some areas are simply not as windy and do not make wind farms or smaller installations practical.

Although we do not currently have wind farms, the possibility does exist.  Currently we have a few media-attention grabbing turbines: One in a New Lenox subdivision with hopes of building an energy neutral development; a pair in Joliet at Joliet Job Corps; a single turbine in Naperville at the Conservation Foundation.

Please see our Green Guide Database for a listing of businesses able to discuss wind turbine options for your home, school or business.
