Wind power is an essential element of the climate change solution. 100 percent clean, domestically-produced and inexhaustible, wind is a reliable, readily-available, and cost-effective source of electricity.
As a growing component of America's electricity supply, wind energy will provide much needed price stability, generate tens of millions of dollars in revenue for farmers and rural communities, and create tens of thousands of jobs. Adding more wind power will also enhance the nation's energy security as our need for electricity continues to grow. The many benefits of wind power explain why it is one of the world's fastest growing sources of electricity.
AWEA is the national trade association of America's wind industry, with a membership that includes global leaders in wind project development, turbine manufacturing, and utilities, as well as a broad range of component and service suppliers.

We hooked up with NativeEnergy to create Cool Tags. They’re renewable wind energy credits that offset CO2 emissions. Each Cool Tag keeps an estimated 300 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the air. (That’s about how much you would generate driving 300 miles in an average car.)
Buy a Cool Tag. Stick it in your window.
Do what you can to live a little greener.
We’ll do the same.
