Eco factor: New wind power project to generate 3,000 MW of electricity in California.
It seems that the clean energy wave is sweeping across the US like never before. In a step that promises to give a huge boost to the renewable energy sector on the American West coast, Terra-Gen Power LLC has arranged finances worth $1.2 billion to establish four wind farms northwest of Los Angeles. The turbines for the project will be made by a Danish company in Colorado.
The entire project guarantees energy generation of as much as 3,000 megawatts of electricity apart from creating 5,000 new jobs in a country which only yesterday announced the extension of unemployment insurance benefits.
