Or, as one reader suggests, “Missouri City Produces as Much Electricity from Wind as Residents Consume.”

Quite a story, if you have the funding. At a cost of $9 million for only 1,395 residents, the system was built at a cost of almost $6,500 a person. I wonder if they had to build their own or rent an existing distribution system to all the homes.

They must have an excellent and steady wind source, too. It will be interesting to see how it works out for them. Maybe some backup power from the local power company? It just seems a little early to claim 100% before it’s been tried out for lengthy period.
