America's First Wind-Powered City

"It wasn't a ribbon cutting ceremony, it wasn't a ground breaking-- it was all about throwing a switch."

"Welcome to Rock Port on Thursday, where the temperature was 44 degrees and the wind was blowing like crazy."

"'What we're celebrating is that the wind farm in Rock Port can produce more energy each year than what this community uses, and that has never been done before,' Chamberlain said."

"And that's why everyone showed up. From the celebration and speeches downtown to the city's power plant, the guy who made it all happen explained what it is all about."

"'What we're showing here is the city is producing 2 megawatts more than they need, so in essence, this meter is running backwards,' Chamberlain said."

"Rock Port only has a population of 1,316 but last week they threw the switch as America's first ever community completely powered by the wind."
